    depends on the tools you have to use and the input source you are going to use. If you are using std C/C++ look into the time.h file. There are a lot of functions relating to time there. If you are using a GUI, then they frequently use wrapper functions for those in time.h. If you are just getting user input then use strings and concatenation with strcat if you are using std C/C++ or += if you are using std string class.

    Look in your time.h header. I believe asctime() does that, but not sure.
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
