Hello group,<br />
<br />
In part of my code, I have to call a function which in there I should pass parametrs like &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Year, month, day and hour. So, basically, user will call the exectuable file like:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;$ ./prog &nbsp;2008 11 &nbsp;3 &nbsp;0 &nbsp;<br />
<br />
which in fact is year 2008, month = Nov, first day of month and hour = 0 a.m. &nbsp;or TODAY!<br />
note that 0 = 12 a.m.<br />
<br />
so now in order to make it more user-friendly I'm thinking of passing some pre-defined tokens like<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; $ ./prog &nbsp;today &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; $ ./prog &nbsp;yesterday<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; or &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; $ ./prog week<br />
&nbsp; <br />
Question:<br />
1) Is it ok to create a CASE block for these tokens?<br />
2) how should I handle today or TODAY or tOdAY ?<br />
<br />
Regards.<br />

Hello group,

In part of my code, I have to call a function which in there I should pass parametrs like       Year, month, day and hour. So, basically, user will call the exectuable file like:

     $ ./prog  2008 11  3  0  

which in fact is year 2008, month = Nov, first day of month and hour = 0 a.m.  or TODAY!
note that 0 = 12 a.m.

so now in order to make it more user-friendly I'm thinking of passing some pre-defined tokens like

    $ ./prog  today  
    $ ./prog  yesterday
    or  
    $ ./prog week
  
Question:
1) Is it ok to create a CASE block for these tokens?
2) how should I handle today or TODAY or tOdAY ?

Regards.


passing timing parameters

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
