Please help with compile for gcc
Hi, the following program runs fine with Borland. It is a twelve hour clock. What it does is requests hours, mins, secs and then waits for user input. When user hits a key the program stops running and adds the elapsed time to the user input time and outputs it.
There are two issues when i compile using gcc.
(1) getch() is not avilable in GCC, but i need a simple substituition that will permit a pause for user input(press any key ....)
(2) The time.h file, i am not sure if its is right. I cannot even get to the output it just skips past when user input is required.
Please can you possibly help me, I need this to work for me to go ahead with the world clock!
PS: Excuse the code; I am just learning, any help would be appreciated.
Code:
//program: 12 hour time clock for c++
#include<iostream>
#include<time.h>
#include<conio.h>
class myClock{
private:
int hh, mm, ss;
int start, timerSecs; //for the timer
public:
myClock(); //constructor
void get_time(int h, int m, int s);
void startTimer();
void endTimer();
void add_time();
void show_time();
};
myClock :: myClock()
{
hh = mm = ss = 0;
}
void myClock :: get_time(int h, int m, int s)
{
hh = h;
mm = m;
ss = s;
}
void myClock :: startTimer()
{
start = clock(); //get the initial clock position
}
void myClock :: endTimer()
{
clock_t end; //to get the final clock position
end = clock();
timerSecs = (end - start)/CLK_TCK; // to get value in secs
}
void myClock :: add_time()
{
ss += timerSecs;
if ( ss > 59 ) {
mm ++;
ss %= 60;
}
if ( mm > 59 ){
hh ++;
mm %= 60;
}
if ( hh > 12 ){
hh %= 12;
}
}
void myClock :: show_time()
{
cout << "The time is: " << hh << ":" << mm << ":" << ss;
}
int main()
{
int hours, mins, secs;
myClock c;
cout << "Enter the hours: ";
cin >> hours;
cout << "Enter the minutes: ";
cin >> mins;
cout << "Enter the seconds: ";
cin >> secs;
c.get_time(hours, mins, secs);
cout << "c is now ticking ..." << "\n";
c.startTimer();
cout << "Press any key to stop c ";
getch();
c.endTimer();
c.add_time();
c.show_time();
return 0;
}
