How many times can time variables be delcared?

Hi, Iam trying to compare to random dates/times but am unable to create 2 independent times as it wont let me decalre 2 individual time_t variables, it will just overight the first variable with the second one.

Is it not possible to create 2 indivudual random dates/time based on systemtime modify one and the other is not changed?

If it is possible could someone tell me how I am to initialise it correctly, as at the momoent I am using:

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<time.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char t1[123];
    char t2[123];
    time_t time1 = time(NULL);
    time_t time2 = time(NULL) + (a constant);
    tm *ltime1 = gmtime(&time1);
    tm *ltime = gmtime(&time2);
    strtime(t1,123,"%a,%b,%Y", ltime1);
    strtime(t1,123,"%a,%b,%Y", ltime2);
    cout<<t1<<endl;
    cout<<t2<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Thanks

gmtime() returns a pointer to its OWN internal memory (its always the same pointer)
You need to copy the result, not just point at it

Code:

    tm ltime1 = *gmtime(&time1);
    tm ltime2 = *gmtime(&time2);
    strtime(t1,123,"%a,%b,%Y", &ltime1);
    strtime(t2,123,"%a,%b,%Y", &ltime2);

Thanks Salem I understand now, your a life save.
