Add Notes to Calendar with C Language

Published October 12, 2021

In the Series of C Beginner Projects source code we are going to cover how to handle calendar and add notes to the date of calendar with C. There are mainly three operations in the calendar application with c programming, as you will be able to find the corresponding day when the date, month, and year are given. You can easily navigate through the arrow keys on the keyboard after you execute the program. The keys provided for the next is 'n', and to go back to the previous operation it is 'p'. The users can include some important dates to specific dates by utilizing the method of file handling. This project is focused on the c console which doesn't include graphics. In this c program, the Sundays are highlighted using red color, while other days in the month are given in white color. You can get the source code from the download button given below the image

This project consist of below modules

  • Find the day of given date
  • Print all the dates in a Month
  • Add note to a specific date
