i am trying to make a program for a calander which has the user input the amount of days in each month and and the start day eg monday=0 and then display a calander for the month displaying it in lines with the correct amount of days starting with the specified start day. I am very new to programming so could nayone give me a few hints on how to achieve this? Would be greatly appreciated!!!
Write pseudo code:
You'll find that breaking things into words you can understand helps a lot.Code:ask user for days in months (assuming all are equal?)
ask user for a day to start on
for each month
starting on day (user inputted day) print the day number
if the day number == whatever ends the week then make a new line
if the day == the month-end-number then end the month
Quzah.
how would i go about arranging it in table form tho so it starts on the correct day and has right amount of days in month
Read,learn from..... ask if you dont understand anything.....

i have looked at this before from a previous post but this gives you the option to insert a date and a year before displaying the calander. What i am looking to do is actaully input the amount of days in the month and also the start day of the month then display the calander for the particular month. I am not interested in leap years or in fact different years just user inputted date to produce the month calander.
any suggestions?
thank you for your time!
Look at the printcalender function that is pretty much what it does.
geee Stoned_Coder, you make it look soo easy. . . .
You may also find this thread useful.
Hmm...That's our goal. Looking at it, we can tell mainly that we're gonna need to utilize conversion characters to align everything, and a for loop to run from day 1 to the final day. Since the calendar starts with Sun, you should probably let sunday be the day for 0, and just let them count up to saturday, which will be day 6.Code:Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
1 2
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28
Here's a snippet of the program...I suggest that you implment the functions one at a time, PrintDay first. You can just fill the other functions with nothing...Code:#include <stdio.h>
// If you don't know what enum is, then feel free to comment this
// out, it's unneccisary, but might be helpful in some situations.
enum {Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat};
void PrintEmptyDays (int firstDay);
void PrintDay (int currDay);
int isSaturday (int currDay, int firstDay);
int main (void)
{
int firstDay, daysInMonth;
// I'm assuming the user will input 0 for Sun, 1 for Mon, etc...
printf ("First day of month please? ");
scanf ("%d", &firstDay);
printf ("Number of days in month please? ");
scanf ("%d", &DaysInMonth);
printf ("Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat\n");
PrintEmptyDays (firstDay);
// Now the cursor is (hopefully) at the position for the first day.
// Time to start printing the days....
for (i = 1; i <= daysInMonth; i++)
{
PrintDay (i);
if (isSaturday(i, firstDay))
{
printf ("\n");
}
}
return 0;
}
PrintDay is a very simple function, you need to use a conversion char in such a manner that the day will be properly aligned. PrintEmptyDays is just a for loop with a printf printing spaces. isSaturday returns 0 if the current day is not saturday, and returns non-zero otherwise, just some simple math.Code:void PrintEmptyDays (int firstday)
{
return;
}
int isStaturday (int currDay, int firstDay)
{
return 0;
}
i tired to copile the above code and it told me days in mionth not declared but it is declared in the intt after main isnt it??
scanf ("%d", &DaysInMonth);
should be....
scanf ("%d", &daysInMonth);
