Help please about a rotary encoder

Hello every body i'm new in the forum, i'm sorry about my english it could be not perfect and there might be numerous mistakes. I'm a begginer in Arduino i would to do a program which use a rotary encoder with push button and i don't know how to start so i ask you guys for your help please. I would like encode my arduino that whenever I press the push button I can switch from one setting to another and that whenever i turn the rotary encoder i can change the value of the setting ongoing. Thank you.

Here is a setup I made for testing a encoder. Originally it adjusted a real time clock but I altered it to serial print the results but the encoder is less responsive using serial.

//Enumerations of settings
const byte eHours = 0;
const byte eMinutes = 1;
const byte eDay = 2;
const byte eMonth = 3;
const byte eYear = 4;

//Constants
const byte encButton = 4;                        //Rotary Encoder button pin
const byte encoder0PinA = 7;                     //Rotary Encoder A pin
const byte encoder0PinB = 8;                     //Rotary Encoder B pin
const byte LED = 13;

const unsigned long debounceDelay = 50;          //Button debounce time
const unsigned long adjustDelay = 10000;         //10 Second Adjust timeout

//Globals
byte hours = 0;
byte minutes = 0;
byte day = 0;
byte month = 0;
byte year = 0;


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  pinMode (encoder0PinA,INPUT_PULLUP);           //Enable pullup resistor
  pinMode (encoder0PinB,INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode (encButton,INPUT);                     //Encoder button is set to input
  pinMode (LED,OUTPUT);                          //LED set to input
}

void loop() {
  if (checkButton(encButton)){
    while (checkButton(encButton)){             //Wait for button to be released
    };
    delay(debounceDelay);
    digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);   // set the LED on
    Serial.println(F("Enter Setup"));
    eAdjust();
    Serial.println(F("Exit Setup"));
    digitalWrite(LED, LOW);   // set the LED off
    if (hours < 10)
    Serial.print("0");
    Serial.print(hours);
    Serial.print(":");
    if (minutes < 10)
    Serial.print("0");
    Serial.print(minutes);
    Serial.print(" - ");
    if (day < 10)
    Serial.print("0");
    Serial.print(day);
    Serial.print("/");
    if (month < 10)
    Serial.print("0");
    Serial.print(month);
    Serial.print("/20");
    if (year < 10)

    Serial.print(year);
  }

Post a vendor link or datasheet for the encoder.

Thank you guys for your reponses.
What do you mean by vendor link ??

Can you explain please for what does it help thits part of the program Riva

if (checkButton(encButton)){
while (checkButton(encButton)){ //Wait for button to be released
};
delay(debounceDelay);
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); // set the LED on
Serial.println(F("Enter Setup"));
eAdjust();
Serial.println(F("Exit Setup"));
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); // set the LED off
if (hours < 10)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.print(hours);
Serial.print(":");
if (minutes < 10)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.print(minutes);
Serial.print(" - ");
if (day < 10)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.print(day);
Serial.print("/");
if (month < 10)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.print(month);
Serial.print("/20");
if (year < 10)
Serial.print("0");
Serial.print(year);
}
