//================================================ includes
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//======================================== define new types
struct Time {
    int hours;
    int minutes;
    int seconds;
};


//============================================== prototypes
int toSeconds(Time now);


//==================================================== main
int main() {
    Time t;
    while (cin >> t.hours >> t.minutes >> t.seconds) {
        cout << "Total seconds: " << toSeconds(t) << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

//=============================================== toSeconds
int toSeconds(Time now) {
    return 3600*now.hours + 60*now.minutes + now.seconds;
}
