# Alarm Clock Project
## Overview
This project is a simple alarm clock program written in C. It allows users to set, cancel, and monitor alarms based on a 12-hour format with AM/PM notation. The program provides a text-based menu interface for interacting with the alarm system and an ongoing loop to check and activate alarms as needed.
## Features
- **Set Alarms**: Configure alarms with a specific hour, minute, second, and AM/PM period.
- **Cancel Alarms**: Remove alarms from the active list.
- **View Alarms**: Display all currently set alarms.
- **Monitor Alarms**: Continuously check and trigger alarms at their scheduled times.
- **User Interface**: Simple menu-driven interface for ease of use.
## Prerequisites
- A C compiler (e.g., GCC)
- Basic understanding of how to compile and run C programs
## Installation
1. **Clone the Repository**: Download the source code from the repository.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mdriyadkhan585/alarm-clock-C
cd alarm-clock-C
```
2. **Compile the Program**: Use a C compiler to compile the source code. For GCC, you can use:
```bash
gcc -o alarm_clock alarm_clock.c
```
3. **Run the Program**: Execute the compiled program:
```bash
./alarm_clock
```
## Usage
### Main Menu
Upon running the program, you will be presented with the main menu. Here are the available options:
1. **Set Alarm**: Configure a new alarm.
- **Hour (1-12)**: Enter the hour in 12-hour format.
- **Minute (0-59)**: Enter the minute.
- **Second (0-59)**: Enter the second.
- **AM/PM (A/P)**: Specify AM or PM.
Example:
```
Enter alarm time (12-hour format):
Hour (1-12): 7
Minute (30): 15
Second (0): 0
AM/PM (A/P): A
```
2. **Cancel Alarm**: Remove an existing alarm.
- View the list of active alarms.
- Enter the number of the alarm you wish to cancel.
Example:
```
Enter the number of the alarm to cancel: 1
```
3. **Show Alarms**: Display all currently set alarms.
- A list of all active alarms will be shown with their respective times.
4. **Done**: Finalize alarm setup and start the monitoring process.
- When you choose "Done", the program will exit the menu and start monitoring for active alarms.
### Program Operation
- **Alarm Monitoring**: After choosing "Done", the program enters an ongoing loop where it continuously checks the current time against the set alarms.
- **Alarm Activation**: When the system time matches the time of an active alarm, the alarm will trigger, and a message will be displayed.
- **Alarm Deactivation**: Once triggered, the alarm will be deactivated automatically to prevent multiple triggers.
### Example Interaction
```
Current time: 12:34:56
Options:
1. Set Alarm
2. Cancel Alarm
3. Show Alarms
4. Done
Choose an option: 1
Enter alarm time (12-hour format):
Hour (1-12): 6
Minute (30): 0
Second (0): 0
AM/PM (A/P): P
Alarm set for 06:30:00 PM
Options:
1. Set Alarm
2. Cancel Alarm
3. Show Alarms
4. Done
Choose an option: 4
Starting alarm...
```
## Troubleshooting
- **Invalid Input**: If you enter invalid data (e.g., an hour outside 1-12), the program will prompt you to enter valid values.
- **Program Not Starting**: Ensure you have compiled the program correctly and have the necessary permissions to execute it.
