    Question Help! I need to know how to use the system date!

    Here's the deal. My final in C++ is tomorrow, december 17, and My test is to write a program that will do what the check printers at wal-mart do when you just sign the check and they fill it in. I know how to do most of it, but the teacher told us to use the system date for the date, and he hasn't told us how to do that, and it isn't in our book. I need a cout statement that will display the system date.

    A very confused student

    Check it dude try this I think it works like this

    #ifdef __DATE__
    cout << __DATE__;

    if you are in class you know date is a macro you might wanna check your compiler to see if it has it though
