Header File Question(s)

I would like to include the time.h header file to be able to get the system date and time to appear on some menus I am creating, but it doesn't seem to include the features I want, (I am using the one that is included with Dev-C++ version 4). My question is can I find another version of this header and use it for this program? If I do, is there anything special I have to do to be able to use it?

The problem is that header files aren't enough. All they do is tell you what functions are avialable but they don't provide the functions themselves. For that you'll need the library file and then you'll have to link in that file.

Now if you explain what you want to do then maybe we can point you in the right direction.

I am trying to use the ideas presented to me in a posting that was posted last night, but the ideas are not working. I will include my program so that it can be reviewed here to see what I may be doing wrong.

Here is a sample of the program:

Now here are the errors I am receiving during the compile:

Code:

---


c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp: In function `void USD_Menu()':
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:78: `month' undeclared (first use this function)
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:78: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:78: for each function it appears in.)
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:78: parse error before `year'

---

I also want to add the system time to this menu once I can get the date to work properly. So I will be probably asking about that too.

well of course you are

>> printf("Currency Conversion\n", month date year); /* line: 78 */

Well, is there any hope for my code, or do you have a different approach that I can take to get this to work?

I will give you an example of how to use "asctime" I got it from here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...._wasctime.asp

Code:

---

#include <ctime>
#include <cstdio>

struct tm *newtime;
time_t aclock;

int main()
{
        time( &aclock );  // Get time in seconds
        newtime = localtime( &aclock );  // Convert time to struct tm form

        /* Print local time as a string */
        printf( "Current date and time: %s", asctime( newtime ) );

        /* Print Individual elements of time as a decimal */
        /* Print Month as a decimal */
        printf( "Month : %d  \n", (1+(*newtime).tm_mon));
        /* Print Day as a decimal */
        printf( "Day : %d \n", (*newtime).tm_mday);
        /* Print Year as a decimal */
        printf( "Year : %d \n", (1900+(*newtime).tm_year));
        return 0;
}

---

what I meant was:

>> month date year

why is that line in the printf() call?

1) if it's a string literal, put some quotes around it.
2) if they are variables, declare them and pass them correctly to printf.

I added the code suggested in the previous post to my exiting code...see below:

I am now getting the following errors:

Code:

---

c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:32: syntax error before `aclock'
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp: In function `int main()':
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:76: `aclock' undeclared (first use this function)
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:76: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:76: for each function it appears in.)
c:\dev-c_~1\examples\menusa~1.cpp:77: `newtime' undeclared (first use this function)

---

well, the line directly above line is 32:

>> struct tm *newtime

you need to look at the lines in the compiler output and go to that section in the code and inspect it. if you see a syntax error, fix it. and don't forget to include <ctype>.

I guess I was looking at the code too long and missed that line 31 was missing a ";"..thanks for all your help!
