Duration-Finder

Made during CSO-101 lab evaluation

Overview

Duration-Finder is a C-based command-line utility designed to compute the duration between two time points. Given two time values (in a specified format), the program calculates and displays the elapsed time between them in hours, minutes, and seconds.

---

Features

• Accepts user input for two time points.
• Computes and displays the duration in HH:MM:SS format.
• Simple command-line interface.

Use Cases

• Educational Purposes: Demonstrate time calculations and C programming concepts.
• Lab Assignments: Useful for Computer Science students as a lab evaluation project.
• Scripting: Can be used in scripts where duration calculation is needed.

Installation

Prerequisites

• GCC or any standard C compiler.
• make (optional, for using the included Makefile).

Steps

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/Jayesh-Dev21/Duration-Finder.git
   cd Duration-Finder

2. Build the Program

   • If you have make installed:

     make

   • Or compile manually:

     gcc -o duration_finder main.c

Usage

Run the compiled executable:

./duration_finder

You will be prompted to enter the start and end times. The program will output the duration between the two.

Note: Ensure you follow the time input format as prompted by the program.

Example

Enter start time (HH MM SS): 10 30 00
Enter end time (HH MM SS): 12 45 30
Duration: 2 hours, 15 minutes, 30 seconds
