Introduction
Welcome to this article where I take you on a journey into my early days of learning programming. In 2012, as a budding programmer, I created the C program presented below. It stands as a snapshot of my exploration into calendar generation, reflecting the challenges and triumphs of that learning phase. Though newer approaches and languages have since emerged, revisiting this piece of code allows me to share insights into the core ideas that fueled my early programming endeavors.
As we delve into the code, keep in mind that this is one of my programs from a time when I was still discovering the intricacies of programming. The calendar generator serves as an interesting example, showcasing the steps I took in understanding and implementing fundamental concepts. Join me in exploring the core ideas behind this C program, and let's uncover the learning experiences embedded within its code.

Understanding the Code
The C program begins with the function call correction(2, 2), which sets the starting point for the calendar generation. In this context, it means that January 1st of year 2 is considered day 2 (Tuesday). This initial correction is crucial as it serves as the reference point for calculating the days of the week for subsequent years and months. this correction was correction(1900,1); meaning January 1 of the year 1900 was day "1" ie Monday. I remember getting it from my phone at the time (Motorola or nokia I don't remember). by scrolling down untill the limit (1900). I don't remember where I got the other correction.
The calendar generation logic continues within the while loop in the function int debut(unsigned long int a, int m). This function calculates the starting day of month "m" of year "a" while storing the January 1st of year "a" in the function correction(unsigned long int a, int b). The correction function memorizes the year "a" and the index "b" of the day of the week for the beginning of its January.
The iterative nature of the code ensures accurate calculation of days and months, taking into account leap years and variations in the number of days in each month. The nb_jours function is used to determine the number of days in a given month, considering leap years.
How to Use the Code
To use this calendar generation code, follow these steps:
- Compile the C program.
- Run the executable and input the desired year when prompted.
- Open the generated HTML file to view the calendar for the specified year.
Customization and Further Development
The provided C program is a starting point that you can customize and expand upon. Consider incorporating modern HTML and CSS techniques to enhance the visual presentation of the calendar. Additionally, explore how you can adapt the core logic for different use cases or integrate it into other projects.
Conclusion
In conclusion, exploring old C programs like this one can be a valuable learning experience. The principles demonstrated in this calendar generator can be applied and adapted to various programming languages. Feel free to experiment, modify, and build upon this foundation to create your own calendar generation projects.
