time in c++ - C / C++

Theron NightStar

I was wondering if there was a way to get the time in an ANSI/ISO C++ program. I know that I can use the header <time.h>. I was under the impression though that I should stay away from headers that end in .h as they are normally the antiquated versions. Only thing is when I try to use <time> the compiler says the header is not found. Any input/corrections in thought would be much appreciated.

did you try <ctime> ?

time.h is a leftover from the C grandparent of C++.
The C++ version of those headers usually have a 'c'
in front of them to remind you of that fact.

C standard header <x.h>
replaced by
C++ standard header <cx>
