Calculating Total Hours worked
Write a script using a Linux shell programming language to perform clock management for a small daycare.

The program should manage all time in and out routines. At the end of the each day should give the Total hours worked that day.

Example:


Code:
Time-In 6:30am
Lunch-Out 11 :25am
Lunch-In 11:40pm
Time-Out 5:30pm
Total Hours Worked =

I have no clue where to start. I tried take in the user's input for IN/OUT Time, but then I'm not sure how to parse it to calculate the total hours. Not sure if there is another approach for this.

This appears to be homework.
