    Thx very much it works like a charm do u know of a better way for the time part of my program cause im gonna need something easier to use and i read up on time.h that sounds like it mostly gives me the current time on my pc and not something that makes the users input their time to manipulate it. Its necessary cause im gonna add on a tax function ni my program for different parking times.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    
    char vehicle[5];
    int car;
    int truck;
    int hrsn; //Hour the vehicle entered the parking lot
    int minn; //Minute the vehicle came in the parking lot
    int hrso; //Hour the vehicle left the parking lot
    int mino; //Minute the vehivle left the parking lot
    int hr; //final hour
    int min; //final minute
    hrsn=0;
    hrso=0;
    minn=0;
    mino=0;
    hr=0;
    min=0;
    int main()
    
    {
    
    
    printf("Where you driving a car or truck?\n");
    scanf("%s", &vehicle );
    
    while( strcmp( vehicle, "truck" ) != 0 && strcmp( vehicle, "car" ) != 0 )
    {
        printf("Please input the words Car or Truck: ");
        scanf("%s",&vehicle);
    }
    
    
    printf("What Hour did the %s enter the lot? (0-23)\n", vehicle);
    scanf("%d",&hrsn);
    while((hrsn<0 || hrsn>23))
    {
        printf("\a\a\a Please Input Value from 0-23!\n");
        scanf("%d",& hrsn);
    }
    
    {
        printf("What Minute did the %s enter the lot? (0-59)\n", vehicle);
        scanf("%d",& minn);
    }
    while((minn<0 || minn>59))
    {
        printf("\a\a\a Please Enter Correct Minute Between 0-59!\n");
        scanf("%d",& minn);
    }
    
    {
        printf("What Hour did the %s leave the lot? (0-23)\n", vehicle);
        scanf("%d",& hrso);
    }
    while((hrso<0 || hrso>23))
    {
        printf("\a\a\a Please Enter the Correct Time Between 0-23!\n");
        scanf("%d",& hrso);
    }
    
    {
        printf("What Minute did the %s leave the lot? (0-59)\n", vehicle);
        scanf("%d",& mino);
    }
    while(mino<0 || mino>59)
    {
        printf("\a\a\a PLease Enter the Correct time between 0-59!\n");
        scanf("%d",& mino);
    }
    
    {
    if (hrsn < (hrso - 1) && minn > mino)
    {
    hrso = hrso - 1;
    mino = mino + 60;
    }
    if (mino - minn > 1 && mino - minn < 30)
    {
    mino = minn+30;
    }
    
    else if (mino - minn > 30 && mino - minn < 60)
    {
    mino = minn + 60;
    }
    
    else
    {
    mino = minn + 00;
    }
    
    
    hr = (hrso-hrsn);
    min = (mino - minn);
    
    printf("Time in %d:%d\n", hrsn, minn);
    
    printf("Parking Time %d hours:%d minutes\n", hr, min);
    
    }
    
    return 0;
    
    }

    What would be a time format that is "easier to use"?

    Post up an example of what you want for timed entry. The logic is not a problem, but reading your mind is a sure flop.

    So you subtract hours out, from hours in, and then you need a bit of logic:

    Code:
    if(minute_in < minute_out) {
      minutes_used = 60 - (minute_out - minute_in) 
      //minutes_used = 60 - 5
      //minutes_used = 55 minutes
    }
    else if(minute_in > minute_out)
      minutes_used = (60 - minute_out) + minute_in
    else
      minutes_used = 0; //minutes_in equals minutes_out
    Give that logic a shot. I don't see a way to make your time format somehow make your time calculations, any easier. There are still just 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day, so the above type of logic, is still going to be needed.

    Keep the time internally in seconds... convert to hours:min:sec for display purposes only.
    Then it's just a math problem...

    Thx i tried it an it works but the problem im trying to fix is that when minutes in > minutes out it gives mi a negative number in the end like "1 hour:-5 minutes"

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <math.h>

    When i run my program it skips the Tax function in my code and i change int main to int void an it still isnt working plz help, i put "void Tax():" in the global section an it skipped it also

    You can't use this kind of code in C - it's not legal.
    Code:
    while(vehicle == "car")
    use this instead:

    include string.h at the top of your program, if it's not there yet.

    Code:
    if((strcmp(vehicle, "car")) == 0) {
      //they match
    }
    else {
      //they do not match
    }
    Did you get the time problem fixed yet?

    The Tax function wasn't getting called because you ended main with a curly brace, before the line of code that was calling Tax().

    Remove the curly brace in red, from your code in main():
    Code:
    printf("Parking Time:  %d:%d \n", hours_max, minutes_max);
    
    }
    
    
    
    Tax(&gct,&price_car,&price_truck,&price,&finalprice);
    
    
    }

    For that matter... he could probably take out half the brace pairs and still have a working program.

    Your calculations in TAX() are based on the variable minutes_max, but you didn't bring minutes_max, into that function.

    Thx didnt even realise that i carried over minutes_max , hours_max and vehicle and it runs now but it crashes when i input the last variable for the main() part of the program

    Code:
