This is such a silly question, but i'm a beginner programmer, and I was following along a youtube tutorial on how to make a digital clock in the C language, and before the main() function there was #include<windows.h>. My computer had an error and after looking it up, I found out that is a file specific to windows? I saw some others said there are ways to "replace" the file or something, but i'm not really sure what to do. Anything helps. Thanks for your time.

Windows and macOS have very different interfaces. Apples uses a generic tool for all its platforms, thus there's no exact equivalent for windows.h in macOS. The closest equivalent I could find was Cocoa. (I'm not an Apple developer, I work mostly on Windows and Linux)
Use the official documentation as a starting point for developing apps on a specific or generic Apple platform. As it is a widely used platform, I expect you will find support on most issues you will encounter given your experience level, on the apple forum.
Also I found this nice tutorial that gives a basic introduction on Apple API's.
