Can someone tell me FOr i2c interface what (#define DS1307_ADDRESS 0x68) meant by
how they specifying the address:

#include"Wire.h"

#define DS1307_ADDRESS 0x68
byte zero = 0x00; //workaround for issue #527

void setup(){
  Wire.begin();
  Serial.begin(9600);
  setDateTime(); //MUST CONFIGURE IN FUNCTION
}

void loop(){
  printDate();
  delay(1000);
}

void setDateTime(){

  byte second =      45; //0-59
  byte minute =      06; //0-59
  byte hour =        11; //0-23
  byte weekDay =    2; //1-7
  byte monthDay =    27; //1-31
  byte month =       2; //1-12
  byte year  =       13; //0-99

 Wire.beginTransmission(DS1307_ADDRESS);

  Wire.write(zero); //stop Oscillator

  Wire.write(decToBcd(second));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(minute));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(hour));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(weekDay));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(monthDay));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(month));
  Wire.write(decToBcd(year));

  Wire.write(zero); //start

  Wire.endTransmission();

}

byte decToBcd(byte val){
// Convert normal decimal numbers to binary coded decimal
  return ( (val/10*16) + (val%10) );
}

byte bcdToDec(byte val)  {
// Convert binary coded decimal to normal decimal numbers
  return ( (val/16*10) + (val%16) );
}

void printDate(){

  // Reset the register pointer
  Wire.beginTransmission(DS1307_ADDRESS);

  Wire.write(zero);
  Wire.endTransmission();

  Wire.requestFrom(DS1307_ADDRESS, 7);

   int second = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
  int minute = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
  int hour = bcdToDec(Wire.read() & 0b111111); //24 hour time
  int weekDay = bcdToDec(Wire.read()); //0-6 -> sunday - Saturday
  int monthDay = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
  int month = bcdToDec(Wire.read());
  int year = bcdToDec(Wire.read());

 /*  int second = 11;
  int minute =18;
  int hour = 18;
  int weekDay = 1;
  int monthDay = 2;
  int month = 11;
  int year = 12;
*/
  //print the date EG   3/1/11 23:59:59
  Serial.print(monthDay);
  Serial.print("/");


  Serial.print(month);
  Serial.print("/");

  Serial.print(year);
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.print(hour);
  Serial.print(":");
  Serial.print(minute);
  Serial.print(":");
  Serial.println(second);
