Thread: Printing the time that clocks says.

Is there anyway so i can printf the exctly clock (hh//mm//ss) that my Desktop "says"? I think it is very simple as program but i don' t have any idea how to do it...does anyone know?

Working!!!!

Thank you very much...but could you explain the green marks so i can understand completely what i am seeing...thanks again....

Code:

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

int main(void)
{
    time_t t = time(NULL);
    const char* s = ctime(&t);
    printf("%s\n", s); 
    return 0;
}

Code:

/* Demonstrates the time functions. */

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

int main( void )
{
     time_t start, finish, now;
     struct tm *ptr;
     char *c, buf1[80];
     double duration;

     /* Record the time the program starts execution. */

     start = time(0);

     /* Record the current time, using the alternate method of */
     /* calling time(). */

     time(&now);

     /* Convert the time_t value into a type tm structure. */

     ptr = localtime(&now);

     /* Create and display a formatted string containing */
     /* the current time. */

     c = asctime(ptr);
     puts(c);
     getc(stdin);

     /* Now use the strftime() function to create several different */
     /* formatted versions of the time. */

     strftime(buf1, 80, "This is week %U of the year %Y", ptr);
     puts(buf1);
     getc(stdin);

     strftime(buf1, 80, "Today is %A, %x", ptr);
     puts(buf1);
     getc(stdin);

     strftime(buf1, 80, "It is %M minutes past hour %I.", ptr);
     puts(buf1);
     getc(stdin);

     /* Now get the current time and calculate program duration. */

     finish = time(0);
     duration = difftime(finish, start);
     printf("\nProgram execution time using time() = %f seconds.", duration);

     /* Also display program duration in hundredths of seconds */
     /* using clock(). */

     printf("\nProgram execution time using clock() = %ld hundredths of sec.",
         clock());
     return 0;
}

There are various time functions in the above program from my textbook. I wont
be able to answer any questions about them as they are about 4 chapters ahead
of where I am now.

Thanks!
