    Unhappy just wondering what is wrong..?

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <time.h>

    char *ctime(time_t *clock)

    int main()

    {
    printf("todayz time is..%c ",ctime);
    }

    There are 2 misstakes:

    1. The function ctime cannot be used as a variable. In your main you need to declare a variable of type time_t, this should be passed to function ctime and the result can be printed.

    2. The main needs to return a value, it is of type int.

    Try this
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <time.h>
    
    int main(void)
    {
       time_t lt;
    
       lt = time(NULL);
       printf(ctime(& lt));
    
       return 0;
    }

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<time.h>
    int main(void)
    {
    time_t TheTime; /* declare a variable of type time_t */
    TheTime=time(NULL); /* get the time */
    printf("The time is :- %s",ctime(&TheTime)); /* pass address of TheTime to ctime and print the result */
    return 0;
    }
