Date

[Paul Selibas]

Greetings, i know to get all the dates/times one would use the header ctime
or time.h.
Can some one then direct me in the right direction to actually get the date
or anything.

Many thanks!

Time functions are tricky to handle. Something like this should work
(untested)

#include <time.h>

tm time = *localtime(time(0));
cout << "The date is " << time.tm_mday << '/' << time.tm_mon + 1 << '/' <<
time.tm_year + 1900;

This prints the date British style (i.e. day / month / year).

Apologies, I said they were tricky. Try this

time_t t = time(0);
tm time = *localtime(&t);
cout << "The date is " << time.tm_mday << '/' << time.tm_mon + 1 << '/' <<
time.tm_year + 1900;
