>im just wondering is there any function in the ctime library that might give me the day name ?
You could use strftime() to format the time.

Code:

#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   time_t now = time(NULL);
   tm *t = localtime(&now);
   char day_of_week[30];
   strftime(s, sizeof(day_of_week), "%A", t);
   cout << "Today is " << day_of_week << endl;
}
