need help Guys!

I have taken a small project of a banking system where people can create his/her own profile by signing up there and can log in anytime.I just want to add two small features:
1)I want a feature where if the user changes any settings in his/her profile a message will be shown to him/her "Do you want to keep these settings?(Reverting back to previous settings in "COUNTDOWN STARTS")".We have seen such things while we change the settings in computer games.In this case I want to let the timer starts from 10 seconds.I have no idea to do this....So anyone please help me to get this job done if there is any way doing this in C language
2)I want to show a message containing the time and date when the user last logged in to the profile.How can I achieve this?
It will be very helpful to me if you introduce me to these topics.
Thank you.

I think you have been told before that in order to receive help two things are required:

1) Showing effort in solving the problem yourself, typically by providing code, or where appropriate explaining what you are trying to accomplish in great detail.
2) Describing the steps you took to identify what the problem is (i.e. debug the code, explaining your rationale about an algorithm, etc)

As far as your system goes, the specification you posted is extremely vague. In terms of actually using time in C I recommend you take a look at the time.h header.

Actually I donot know how to add these features.....I tried to explain things clear as far as i can.So I posted here so that anyone can help me showing me how can i add these features.

In order to add features to an existing program you need to understand how it works enough to know where you can add things.

If the program already uses user profiles, you can just edit those to add a Last Modified field which you can display. If it doesn't you get to implement profiles.

Implementing a countdown means that you have to know how to do a countdown in the first place. Then you worry about the program's output, figuring out where you can insert your countdown-to-reversion code.

In that case, we have a different interpretation of help. The forum's interpretation of help is that you do a substantial amount of the work or the thinking, and we help by guiding that process. Even if you don't know how to do something there is no excuse for not providing any kind of plan or approach, even if it is incorrect. Right now, this post is just another: "do this for me". I already got you started by telling you to look at time.h . If you are unwilling to do work, we (or at least myself) are unwilling to help.

Ummm, please forgive my bluntness... but if you don't know how to do this why did you take on the task?

Because I think this is how some new ideas enter one's mind and creativity increases and if this question was properly answered I got to know facts concerning using time as an added servixe to my project.

It looks like you've got at least one clue somewhere in this post that would lead you to more information (hint: #2). If you look into this, and are uncertain about what you're reading, but show an attempt at trying to understand, then you might receive more help.

Also, if I were you, I'd listen to your signature.

I agree... but it's also how bugs get introduced into stable code...

Keep in mind that what you do as a programmer has direct impacts on others, it's not just about you... *ESPECIALLY* when it involves other people's money or healthcare.
