Need Help with the time()....Function.

[Patrick1234]

Hi, what I am having problems with is the “time()” function or my time.h file.
Basically what I am trying to do is separate part of the displayed date “FRI” and just print the separated part. I tried this:

1) char *asctime( const struct tm *time); Did not work. .
2) then char *asctime( const struct tm *time);
Replacing *time with *tm_mday. Referring to the time.h file.

A second question??

below is a small program that I wrote to display the time. The “*/*/” line I put in afterwards and I now get the correct out put. Why do I need this?

time_t tod_y;

*/*/ time(&tod_y);

cout<<ctime(&tod_y)<<endl;


and why do I get the line below when I don’t have that line in?
