what code am i going to use and how can i apply it?
sorry for my bad english >_<

sorry for the inconvinence
If you can get the date into a "time_t" type, you can use difftime() which is a standard function in the C runtime library. difftime gives you the number of seconds between two time values, and time in itself is "date and time" combined.
And as a help, 24 * 60 * 60 -> 86400, so the days is "seconds/86400".

Possibly calculate the Julian day number for beginning date and ending date. Then subtract the beginning Julaian day number from the ending Julian day number.
A formula for calculating Julian day numbers can be found at this Julian day wiki
