Salaam, But just like Orwell's "All libraries are equal but some libraries are more equal than others" ;) , the following are some advantages of my own "prayert.c" code over "prayer.cpp". Some of those were wripped from a feature list that I wrote for my Windows app, so please excuse the marketing tone in my voice. ;) ++ It's written in ANSI C and works well on Windows and Linux. Duh! ++ The calculation code takes into account the location's Height above Sea level, as well as different Ishaa and Fajr Angles, and different Ishaa and Fajr intervals (90, 120 minutes as in the case of the Um-Al-Qura method) ++ Better support for countries with Extreme latitudes using different options (7 calculation options in total). ++ Calculates Tomorrow's al-Fajr prayer Today! This is actually useful for showing the "next salat" time in your app. ++ It was designed to be a back-end of a separate Windows app, so it does have that stand-alone-library look and feel. ++ The actual code is smaller in size. Also, unlike "prayer.cpp", it compiles perfectly with no errors or warnings. ++ The code is clean and well structured. (for me at least :) And some disadvantages: -- no Eid prayer calculations. Some problems in both pieces of code: +- No Daylight Saving Time (DST) handling.
