Thread: Creating a class scheduler

Hello to everyone! I'm trying to code a basic class scheduler, which checks if the time slot chosen by a the user is already occupied or not, I'm having trouble constructing a 12x6 table wherein I can print on top "monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday" and on the side the time slots like 7:30-8:20, 8:20-9:10,etc. . .

I've successfully created a table, I can't think of how to print inside the table

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

char board[12][6];
int main()
{
    
   
   
int x;
int y;
    for(x=0; x<12; x++)
    {
             for(y=0;y<6;y++)
             {
       printf("\t\t\t %c | %c | %c | %c | %c | %c",board[x][y],
       board[x][y], board [x][y], board [x][y], board [x][y], board [x][y]);
       
        printf("\n\t\t\t---+---+---+---+---+---\n");
   
    }
       
    }
    getchar();
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

here is my code.

What's the problem in this code???
I mean any error or output is not formatted?

that's my initial code. I don't know how to place words like "monday,tuesday" in the spaces of the table.

Do

Code:

strcpy(board[x][y],"Monday");

and so on...

oh so I also do that if I also want to enter the time slots on the side?

Sure as you are handling them as string....

question,where do I place the

Code:

strcpy(board[x][y],"Monday");

sorry, I'm getting errors.

What errors?

it says "subscripted value is neither array nor pointer" :-?

Not even possible..... Then there will be some problem with your code... Post your code here....

here's the new code

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

char board[12][6];
int main()
{
    
   
   
int x;
int y;
    for(x=0; x<12; x++)
    {
             for(y=0;y<6;y++)
             {
       printf("\t\t\t %c | %c | %c | %c | %c | %c",board[x][y],
       board[x][y], board [x][y], board [x][y], board [x][y], board [x][y]);
       
        printf("\n\t\t\t---+---+---+---+---+---\n");
   
    }
       
    } strcpy(board[x][y],"Monday");
    getchar();
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

I think you should better follow the book or some tutorials first.... But more than learning, you should think, what you are doing above.......
1. Include header file......

Code:

#include<string.h>

2. Do,

Code:

strcpy(board[your_Index_Here],"Monday");

Note:
Now you think, where to copy these days values in your program.....

And just provide with the row index, not the column index while copying days into the array.

where exactly do I put the

Code:

strcpy(board[your_Index_Here],"Monday");

?
I've been reviewing the stuff our teacher had given me and I tried them all but they still won't output.

For the days of the week, I'd suggest a small array:

Code:

char days={"", "Sunday","Monday","Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday","Friday","Saturday"};

and now you can easily remember and use the number of the day of the week, inside your program:

Code:

for(i=1;i<8;i++)
  printf("\n %9s",days[i]); 
printf("/n ");
for(i=0;i<70;i++)
  putchar('=');

You need the strings printed out inside a fixed field, to easily "mark up" your schedule. I believe 9 for the string, and one for the space, is about right, since it's an easy 10 char wide, in total.

So if I want to mark something in Tuesday's column, I know that column starts at (10 * 3).

If you want something with more columns, you may want to use the days 3 letter abbreviation, instead of the full day's word.
