My program keeps skipping scanf().

The second time i want to input a value into a variable instead of prompting the user for input it automatically inputs line feed/10.

What am i doing wrong...

I need someone to direct me to a simple but thorough explanation of the time funtions cos I can;t make head nor tail off them.

I want to print the time now and be able to calculate time...

vsriharsha, Thank you.

I just spent more than a week scouring books and the net for an answer to this question and your chunk of code worked perfectly.
