Write a program that asks for the last service date and odometer reading. Calculate and display if the car is due for service (e.g., every 10,000 km or 6 months)

Here's a simple C program that fulfills your requirements: ```c #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> // Function to calculate the time difference in months int time_diff_in_months(time_t t1, time_t t2) { return (t2 - t1) / (60 * 60 * 24 * 30); } int main() { int odometer_reading; char last_service_date[11]; time_t last_service_time; time_t current_time; int months_between_services; int km_between_services; // Get the last service date and odometer reading from the user printf("Enter the last service date (YYYY-MM-DD): "); scanf("%10s", last_service_date); printf("Enter the odometer reading at the last service: "); scanf("%d", &odometer_reading); // Convert the last service date to time_t struct tm last_service_tm = {0}; last_service_tm.tm_year = atoi(last_service_date) - 1900; last_service_tm.tm_mon = atoi(last_service_date + 5) - 1; last_service_tm.tm_mday = atoi(last_service_date + 8); last_service_time = mktime(&last_service_tm); // Get the current date and time time(&current_time); // Calculate the time difference in months int months_since_last_service = time_diff_in_months(last_service_time, current_time); // Calculate the time difference in kilometers printf("Enter the interval between services in kilometers: "); scanf("%d", &km_between_services); // Calculate the time difference in months for the odometer reading int months_since_last_odometer_reading = (odometer_reading / km_between_services) * months_between_services; // Display the results printf("Months since last service: %d\n", months_since_last_service); printf("Months since last odometer reading: %d\n", months_since_last_odometer_reading); // Check if the car is due for service if (months_since_last_service >= months_between_services || months_since_last_odometer_reading >= months_between_services) { printf("The car is due for service.\n"); } else { printf("The car is not due for service yet.\n"); } return 0; } ``` This program asks the user for the last service date and odometer reading, and then calculates the time difference in months since the last service. It also asks the user for the interval between services in kilometers and calculates the time difference in months for the odometer reading. Finally, it checks if the car is due for service based on the calculated time differences. Note that this program assumes that the interval between services is the same for both time and odometer readings. If the intervals are different, you will need to modify the program accordingly. Also, this program uses the `mktime` function to convert the last service date to a `time_t` value, which represents the number of seconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970). The `time` function is used to get the current date and time. The `time_diff_in_months` function calculates the time difference in months between two `time_t` values.
