cant get code to work

Hi, i cant get this to work and i dont know why, its not becuase of the date.h... i do have that file in my dir.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include "date.h"

         
  char* month_name (int month) {
         
      static char* month_names[] = {
      "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
      "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
      };
      return month_names[(month-1) % 12];
  }

         
  void print_day (int day, int month, int year) {
         
      static char* day_names[] = {
      "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
      "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
      };
      char* name = day_names[week_day(day, month, year)];
      printf("%d %s %d is a %s\n", day, month_name(month), year, name);
  }

         
  int main () {
         
      int day;
      int month;
      int year;
 
      getchar();
      scanf("%d %d %d", &day, &month, &year);
      print_day(day, month, year);
      return 0;
  }

what is this function? and what is in date.h?

Sorry thanx for trying to help, but i got it working. Cheers.

Sorry, i do actually need more help.. i was having trouble before because i left out a file that had to be included. I got that working now. This next question is to do with the input. At the moment the input ignores the first letter thats typed in. What i want it to do is print out an error message if anyting but the first letter is a 'd'. Any other letter i want it to throw an exception.
So if the user enters d23 11 2002, its ok, but if the user enters say x23 11 2002 it will throw an error.

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include "date.h"
#include "date.c"
         
  char* month_name (int month) {
         
      static char* month_names[] = {
      "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
      "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
      };
      return month_names[(month-1) % 12];
  }

         
  void print_day (int day, int month, int year) {
         
      static char* day_names[] = {
      "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
      "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
      };
      char* name = day_names[week_day(day, month, year)];
      printf("%d %s %d is a %s\n", day, month_name(month), year, name);
  }

         
  int main () {
         
      int day;
      int month;
      int year;
 
      getchar();
      scanf("%d %d %d", &day, &month, &year);
      print_day(day, month, year);
      return 0;
  }

---

Just insert the d in the scanf function. And always check the return value of the scanf function:

Code:

---

if(scanf("d%d %d %d", &day, &month, &year) != 3)
{
  /* error */
}

---

B.T.W.

A better and safer way to do this is read the complete line with the fgets function and then use the sscanf function.

Cheers,

Its always producing the second error. Even when you enter d 23 11 2002, it does the error. The != 4 part also doesnt work...?

Code:

---

int main () {
         
      int day;
      int month;
      int year;
      char check;
      getchar();
 
      if(scanf("%c %d %d %d", &check, &day, &month, &year) != 4)
        {
        printf("error");
        }
       
        if ( check != 'd' )
        {
            printf("error2");
        }
        else{
       
        /*        scanf("%d %d %d", &day, &month, &year);*/
            print_day(day, month, year);
            return 0;
        }
  }

---

its ok, i forgot to remove the getchar()

thanx :D

you should not be including date.c: you should prototype all exported date.c functions in date.h, include only date.h, compile date.c seprately, and shove them both into the linker together.

Now that i have the prog working for input such as d23 11 2002
Output: 23 November 2002 is a Saturday.
How do i get the program to do this:

input: d 23 11
Output: 23 November 2002 is a Saturday
(the prog takes the current year)

input:d 23
Output: 23 October 2002 is a Wednesday.
(the prog takes the current month and current year)

Input: d
Output: 16 October 2002 is a Wednesday
(the prog takes the current date).

How do i go about doing this?

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include "date.h"
#include "date.c"
         
  char* month_name (int month) {
         
      static char* month_names[] = {
      "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
      "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"
      };
      return month_names[(month-1) % 12];
  }

         
  void print_day (int day, int month, int year) {
         
      static char* day_names[] = {
      "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
      "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
      };
      char* name = day_names[week_day(day, month, year)];
      printf("%d %s %d is a %s\n", day, month_name(month), year, name);
  }

         
  int main () {
         
      int day;
      int month;
      int year;
      char check;
 
 
      if(4 != scanf("%c %d %d %d", &check, &day, &month, &year))
      {
        printf("error");
      }
 
      if ( check == 'd' )
      {
        print_day(day, month, year);
        return 0;
      }
      else{
        printf("Unknown command: %c \n", check );
     
     
      }
      /*
      else{
        printf("Unknown command: %c \n", check );
        scanf("%d %d %d", &day, &month, &year);
     
      }*/
 
  }

I think you would have to use the time.h library(look it up) as it has allsorts of time+date based functions inside!:D

Hi again, sorry to be so annoying, but im having so much trouble with this task!

I have reverted back to an old program that i was working on for this a while ago. I am now having trouble with the do_day function. I need it to assume current year, if year is ommited from input, the same with month and the same with day.

Hi i need help still with my above Q, but i also need help with makefile. I need a makefile so that i can test the prog properly and stuff, but i dont really know if im doing it properly becuase im getting errors. Ill include my makefile first and then my program. If anyone could fix the makefile for me, i would greatly appreciate it. Thanx

MakeFile:

Code:

Any ideas with the makefile thing tho?

Could the problem be that the date.c file i have actually included as code in the prog makes the makefile not work? can anyone please correct my makefile so that i can test my code properly. Thanx. (In above threads.)
