    If you want the day of the week, you could to this:
    Code:
       char *weekday[7] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};
    
       printf("Today is %s\n",weekday[day]);
    However, it sounds like you want the day of the month.

    aawww..

    i was supposed to program the day and month

    eg.
    enter day : 1
    enter month : 5
    result: First of May

    i have to code from 1 to 31 for day and 12 for month?

    no other way round?

    I would just make two arrays, one for the list of months, and one for the list of days.
    Code:
       char *months[12] = {"Jan","Feb",...};
       char *days[31] = {"first","second","third","fourth","fifth",
          "sixth","seventh","eighth","nighth",...};
    .
    .
       printf("Today is %s of %s\n",days[day],months[mon]);
    Unfortunately, you need an array of 31 day strings. There's not really a pattern where you could break it into two parts, until you get to twenties.
