Parse GPS String for Time and Coordinates

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void parse_time(char *tokens){
    printf("Time: ");
    for (int i=0; tokens[i] != '\0'; i++){
        if (i%2 == 0 && i != 0){
            printf(":");
        }
        printf("%c", tokens[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

void parse_latitude(char *tokens){
    printf("Latitude: %s ", tokens);
}

void parse_longitude(char *tokens){
    printf("Longitude: %s ", tokens);

}

void parse_gprmc(char *nmea) {
    int count = 0;
    char *tokens = strtok(nmea, ","); // inserts \0 for each delim
    
    while (tokens != NULL) {
        if (count == 1){
           parse_time(tokens);
        }
        else if (count == 3){
            parse_latitude(tokens);
        }
        else if (count == 4){
            printf("%s\n", tokens);
        }
        else if (count == 5){
            parse_longitude(tokens);
        }
        else if (count == 6){
            printf("%s\n", tokens);
        }
        count++;
        tokens = strtok(NULL, ",");  // use str from last time
  }


}

int main() {
    char nmea[100];
    fgets(nmea, sizeof(nmea), stdin);
    parse_gprmc(nmea);
    return 0;
}
