Use the TIMER0 interrupt with a suitable crystal clock frequency and prescaler. Update the timer info in the TIMER0 macro, and repeatedly display the time within your main routine.

Can we get that in English please? If we don't even know how to make a clock, then I am thinking we are pretty new to this.
I need to make a standard 12 hour clock with am & pm functions and alam. Also need a way to set the time and alarm using the switch board.

The Timer macro is called at so many times a second e.g 75 times a second or 75Hz.
The prescaler and crystal clock frequency allow you to set the refresh rate to a useable time period such as 75hz that you use.
Count to 75 in the timer interrupt macro and a second has passed.
Update the seconds minutes hours etc. .
The main program can display the time and check for inputs.
12 or 24 hour clock is simply a way to display the 24 hours.
