Difftime example

Posted on February 17th, 2009 in C by admin

This shows the difftime function and in this case we will pause our program for 5 seconds with it

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()

{
time_t start;
time_t current;
time(&start);
printf(”delay for 5 seconds.\n”);
do{
time(&current);
}while(difftime(current,start) < 5.0);

printf(”Finished delay.\n”);

return 0;
}

Using the Ctime function

Using the Ctime function

This example shows a sample usage for the Ctime function to display the date and time.

/*using the ctime function*/

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
time_t tm;
tm = time(NULL);
printf(ctime(&tm));
return 0;
}

This was tested on Visual C++ 6 and LCC Win 32
