Question

Alright so my question is, how can I make a program that basically executes the rest of the program at for example 12pm. For example some non realistic code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{

     Get_time() //Gets system time

     if(time() == 254pm ){ //if time is 2:54pm

             printf("Time: 2:54pm\n");
         }

      else printf("Program can not execute at this time.\n");

      return 0;
 }

Does anyone know how I can do something similar?

Use localtime to get the current time.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main ()
{
    // Get system time
    time_t rawtime;
    struct tm * timeinfo;

    time ( &rawtime );
    timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );

    // Check
    if(timeinfo->tm_hour == 14 && timeinfo->tm_min == 54)
    {
        printf("Time: 2:54pm\n");
    }

  return 0;
}
