    I need some help with time

    I need a very very simple bit of code to just cout the time,day,month,year. I am not picky about the format(ie dd,mm,yyyy) its just time in C++ just confuses the hell out of me and i cant seem to find a very small and simple bit of code.
    And sorry if there is a faq item for this i didnt see one

    see the functions in time.h
    Code:
    #include <ctime>
    #include <iostream>
    
    
    int main()
    {
       time_t now = time(0);
       struct tm* tm = localtime(&now);
       std::cout << asctime(tm) << std::endl;
    
       return 0;
    }
