I managed to get the Time Date set and to stop it from resetting it every time I run the program.
Now I am interested in only certain parts of the TimeDate.
I do not find the variable that say denotes the Hours although I opened the .cpp file and the it has this
"t.hr = hourFromRegisterValue(readIn());" I assume this is the Hour variable, but when I put it into the example code that comes with the library "#include <DS1302.h>" it gives me the following error.

I trust I have included all relevant info.
