Exercise X3.1
Recall in Exercise X2.1 how you could convert a time code from an SRT file. Write a function that takes hours, minutes, seconds, and fraction as parameters and returns the raw number of seconds.
Hint: Start with your python expression from the previous exercise; replace "hard-coded" numbers with variables for the parameters listed above. Wrap this new expression inside a function definition (name it, list the parameters), and finally remember to use the return keyword to pass the result back out when the function gets called.
