    Question Tick Please

    Hi All,

    Please help my little prog to display date and time, but I want the time to display with ticking second and it's not doing that :-( why?

    Thanks for any help. Borland C++ 3.0 compiler.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <conio.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <dos.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        struct date d;
        getdate(&d);
        struct  time t;
        gettime(&t);
    
        clrscr();
        textcolor(14);
        gotoxy(60,3);
        printf("Date: %d/%d/%d",d.da_day,d.da_mon,d.da_year);
        while (!kbhit())
        {
    	gotoxy(60,4);
    	printf("Time: %2d:%02d:%02d",t.ti_hour, t.ti_min, t.ti_sec);
        }
        return 0;
    }

    put 'getdate( &d )' and gettime( &t )' in the loop
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    Try this...

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <time.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    #include <conio.c>
    
    int main()
    {
    
    for (int x=0;x>=0;x++)
    {
      time_t now;
      time(&now);
      
      printf("%s", ctime(&now));
      Sleep(100);
      clrscr();
      
    }
    return main();
    }
