Find a time for which angle between hour and minute hands is given theta

Given angle theta, find a possible time (in hh:mm format) when angle between hour hand and clock hand is theta. If no such time exists then print -1.

Examples :

Input : theta = 90.0
Output : 3:0 

Input : theta = 60.0
Output : 2:0

We have discussed how to find angle for given time in below post.
Calculate the angle between hour hand and minute hand

In this problem, we are asked to do reverse. Since there are 12 possibilities for hour and 60 possibilities for minute, we loop through all possible time which is 12*60 = 720, if angle for any time is equal to given theta then we print that time. 

C++

// C++ program to find time for a given angle.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// function to find angle between
// hour hand and minute hand
float calcAngle(int hh, int mm)
{
    // Calculate the angles moved by hour and
    // minute hands with reference to 12:00
    float hour_angle = 0.5 * (hh*60 + mm);
    float minute_angle = 6*mm;

    // Find the difference between two angles
    float angle = abs(hour_angle - minute_angle);

    // Return the smaller angle of two possible
    // angles
    angle = min(360-angle, angle);

    return angle;
}

// function to print all time when angle between
// hour hand and minute hand is theta
void printTime(float theta)
{
    for (int hh=0; hh<12; hh++)
    {
        for (int mm=0; mm<60; mm++)
        {
            if (calcAngle(hh, mm)==theta)
            {
                printf("%d:%d\n", hh, mm);
                return;
            }
        }
    }
    printf("Input angle not valid.\n");
    return;
}

// driver code to test above function
int main()
{
    float theta = 90.0;
    printTime(theta);
    return 0;
}

    float hour_angle = 0.5f * (hh * 60 + mm);
    float minute_angle = 6 * mm;

    // Find the difference between two angles
    float angle = Math.abs(hour_angle - minute_angle);

    // Return the smaller angle of
    // two possible angles
    angle = Math.min(360-angle, angle);

    return angle;
}

// function to print all time when
// angle between hour hand and minute

        {
            if (calcAngle(hh, mm) == theta)
            {
                System.out.println(hh + ":" + mm);
                return;
