I really need some help with creating a timer using time.h
I am fairly good at c programming but time.h has always escaped me.
I have to create a program that outputs the time in day, hours, minutes and seconds. I can probably do that part myself its just the actual timer part that I'm having trouble with.
Provide some details about the timer.
Thats my problem I have no idea where to start. I dont know how to work with time.h if you can provide something like an example of how to simple start a timer I can probably figure out the rest. There are no restrictions, just want it to be simple so im not looking up a million wierd things.
EDIT:
I guess if you wanted what im trying to accomplish.
I want to make a timer that will be stopped by the user.
When its stopped it will output the duration that the timer when for

Post your code, lets see what we're dealing with...
1.Get the current time value in a time_t with time .Originally Posted by ADHDadditiv
2.Use difftime to generate the difference of the time when you want to stop, with the stored time. (Result in seconds,..)
3. Convert the no of seconds to anything else you'd like.
