Calendar Creating Program

xavier666 -3 Tallied Votes 369 Views Share

The program generates a calendar for one year. The program only asks for the day on which 1st January falls from user.
Notes :

  • Compiler - Turbo C++ 4.5
  • Leap year has been considered
  • The only reason for including conio.h is because of clrscr() . If somebody can give me a one-line alternative, I would be happy to modify the code
  • The user can either view a particular month or the whole year
  • Error handling has not been implemented (feeling lazy :yawn:)

Please don't flame me for using global variables. I don't know about the problems of global variables so enlighten me :P
PM me if you find any bugs or if you think it can be improved

here's a bug: #include <conio.h> your program is worthless with that in it. why do you people insist on clinging onto that Turbo C crap?

I'm actually new. Can you please explain the problems faced with conio.h I've been getting insults just for using this.
PS - Why did they (don't know who) put conio.h in C in the first place if it was such a problem?

What should i be clinging to?

"They" didn't. It's for a third party library, one that was meant to work with DOS. Not a windows console, mind you, but DOS. Code that uses it is really meant for DOS. It doesn't really belong in Windows, and the "let's abandon this" period was begun about 1995. The "problem" is people still using this after, oh, about 1999.

Generally these folks are nudged away from using something like this that is quite out of date. Many insist on using it anyway. I don't know to what aim -- it's not going to become any more widely used, and almost certainly less so.

Just use system("cls"); to clear the screen.
