Parse GPS String for Time and Coordinates

Code

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

void parse_gprmc(char *nmea) {
    // Your logic here
    char *fields[7];
    int i = 0;

    // Split the string by commas and store first 7 fields
    char *token = strtok(nmea, ",");
    while(token != NULL && i < 7) {
        fields[i++] = token;
        token = strtok(NULL, ",");
    }

    if(i < 7) {
        printf("Invalid GPRMC string\n");
        return;
    }

    // Extract time
    char *raw_time = fields[1];
    char hh[3], mm[3], ss[3];
    hh[0] = raw_time[0]; hh[1] = raw_time[1]; hh[2] = '\0';
    mm[0] = raw_time[2]; mm[1] = raw_time[3]; mm[2] = '\0';
    ss[0] = raw_time[4]; ss[1] = raw_time[5]; ss[2] = '\0';

    printf("Time: %s:%s:%s\n", hh, mm, ss);
    printf("Latitude: %s %s\n", fields[3], fields[4]);
    printf("Longitude: %s %s\n", fields[5], fields[6]);
}

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