C Program to Calculate Difference Between Two Time Periods

 

Calculate Difference Between Two Time Periods

#include <stdio.h>
struct TIME {
   int seconds;
   int minutes;
   int hours;
};

void differenceBetweenTimePeriod(struct TIME t1,
                                 struct TIME t2,
                                 struct TIME *diff);

int main() {
   struct TIME startTime, stopTime, diff;

   printf("Enter the start time. \n");
   printf("Enter hours, minutes and seconds: ");
   scanf("%d %d %d", &startTime.hours,
         &startTime.minutes,
         &startTime.seconds);

   printf("Enter the stop time. \n");
   printf("Enter hours, minutes and seconds: ");
   scanf("%d %d %d", &stopTime.hours,
         &stopTime.minutes,
         &stopTime.seconds);

   // Difference between start and stop time
   differenceBetweenTimePeriod(startTime, stopTime, &diff);
   printf("\nTime Difference: %d:%d:%d - ", startTime.hours,
          startTime.minutes,
          startTime.seconds);
   printf("%d:%d:%d ", stopTime.hours,
          stopTime.minutes,
          stopTime.seconds);
   printf("= %d:%d:%d\n", diff.hours,
          diff.minutes,
          diff.seconds);
   return 0;
}

// Computes difference between time periods
void differenceBetweenTimePeriod(struct TIME start,
                                 struct TIME stop,
                                 struct TIME *diff) {
   while (stop.seconds > start.seconds) {
      --start.minutes;
      start.seconds += 60;
   }
   diff->seconds = start.seconds - stop.seconds;
   while (stop.minutes > start.minutes) {
      --start.hours;
      start.minutes += 60;
   }
   diff->minutes = start.minutes - stop.minutes;
   diff->hours = start.hours - stop.hours;
}

Output

Enter the start time.
Enter hours, minutes and seconds: 13
34
55
Enter the stop time.
Enter hours, minutes and seconds: 8
12
15

Time Difference: 13:34:55 - 8:12:15 = 5:22:40

C Program to Read a Line From a File and Display it

  Program to read text from a file # include <stdio.h> # include <stdlib.h> // For exit() function int main () { char c[ 1000 ]; FILE *fptr; if ((fptr = fopen( "program.txt" , "r" )) == NULL ) { printf ( "Error! opening file" ); // Program exits if file pointer returns NULL. exit ( 1 ); } // reads text until newline is encountered fscanf (fptr, "%[^\n]" , c); printf ( "Data from the file:\n%s" , c); fclose(fptr); return 0 ; } If the file is found, the program saves the content of the file to a string  c  until  '\n'  newline is encountered. Suppose the  program.txt  file contains the following text in the current directory. C programming is awesome. I love C programming. How are you doing? The output of the program will be: Data from the file: C programming is awesome. If the file  program.txt  is not found, this program prints an error message.
