The medieval interest in mechanical contrivances is well illustrated by the development ofthe mechanical clock, the oldest of which is driven by weights and controlled by a verge, anoscillating arm engaging with a gear wheel. It dates back to 1386.

Clocks driven by springs had appeared by the mid-15th century, making it possible to con-struct more compact mechanisms and preparing the way for the portable clock.

English spring-driven pendulum clocks were first commonly kept on a small wall bracketand later on a shelf. Many bracket clocks contained a drawer to hold the winding key. Theearliest bracket clocks, made for a period after 1660, were of architectural design, with pillarsat the sides and a pediment on top.

In 17th- and 18th-century France, the table clock became an object of monumental design,the best examples of which are minor works of sculpture.

The longcase clocks (also called grandfather clocks) are tall pendulum clock enclosed in awooden case that stands upon the floor and is typically from 6 to 7.5 feet (1.8 to 2.3 m) in height.Later, the name ``grandfather clock'' became popular after the popular song "My Grandfather'sClock," written in 1876 by Henry Clay Work.

One of the first atomic clocks was an ammonia-controlled clock. It was built in 1949 at theNational Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C.; in this clock the frequency did not vary bymore than one part in 10⁸

Nuclear clocks are built using two clocks. The aggregate of atoms that emit the gammaradiation of precise frequency may be called the emitter clock; the group of atoms that absorbthis radiation is the absorber clock. One pair of these nuclear clocks can detect energy changesof one part in 10¹⁴ , being about 1,000 times more sensitive than the best atomic clock.

The cesium clock is the most accurate type of clock yet developed. This device makes useof transitions between the spin states of the cesium nucleus and produces a frequency whichis so regular that it has been adopted for establishing the time standard.

The history of clocks is fascinating, but unrelated to this problem. In this problem, youare asked to find the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand on a regular analogclock. Assume that the second hand, if there were one, would be pointing straight up at the12. Give all angles as the smallest positive angles. For example 9:00 is 90 degrees; not -90 or270 degrees.

Input 

The input is a list of times in the form H : M, each on their own line, with and .The input is terminated with the time 0:00. Note that H may be represented with1 or 2 digits (for 1-9 or 10-12, respectively); M is always represented with 2 digits(The input times are what you typically see on a digital clock).

Output 

The output displays the smallest positive angle in degrees between the hands for each time.The answer should between 0 degrees and 180 degrees for all input times. Display each angleon a line by itself in the same order as the input. The output should be rounded to the nearest1/1000, i.e., three places after the decimal point should be printed.

Sample Input 

12:00
9:00
8:10
0:00

Sample Output 

0.000
90.000
175.000

题目大意其实就是给定一个时间，求在该时刻时，时针和分针的夹角。套用下公式 angle = 30 * hour - 5.5 * minute即可。

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;

int main() {
	double h;
	double m;
	double angle;
	while (scanf("%lf:%lf",&h,&m)) {
		if (h == 0 && m == 0)
			break;
		angle = 30 * h - 5.5 * m;
		if (angle < 0)
			angle = 360 + angle;
		if (angle > 180)
			angle = 360 - angle;
		printf("%.3lf\n",angle);
	}
	return 0;
}
