    A simple calendar in c

    Hi I'm just starting out in the world of C programming and looking for source code for a simple calendar written in "C". does this exist somewhere around?? The code needs to show the yearly calendar first and then allow a text input to be saved on any particular day of the year.
    1. show calendar
    2. select date and time for appointment
    3. enter text
    4. save appointment

    Could anybody help me.

    Only if you show us how far you can get to begin with.
    We're not here to hand you a complete answer just like that.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Looking to copy source code from someone else ain't much of a start... Unless you are studying "cheating 101"....

    If you want to learn C ... LEARN C... Write your own source code.

    Heh, it's like cooking. There's only so much you can learn from reading cookery books or dining at restaurants.

    The real learning starts when you enter the kitchen, and things start getting burnt, boil over or catch fire.

    Yes, there is such code, although I haven't seen it with the appointment feature you mention. The one I saw was just a simple calender.

    Right off, you should know that an appointment calendar is too difficult for a beginner in C. You need to know the basics of C pretty well, before you have a real good chance of completing this kind of program. Trying to overreach to write such a program, will be very frustrating for you, at best.

    Start with "Hello World", and work your way up, learning as you go. Copying code is a very poor way to learn C. We learn best, by doing, and copying isn't doing. You will get there, with persistence, but not in a week.

    You bring your program code here, and ask smart questions (specific questions are best), and you'll find a good deal of help available. General questions, like "Help!", or questions which show no coding effort on your part, are given much less help, deservedly.

    Welcome to the forum, Sjvlsdsd! Hope this isn't too demotivating for you.
