post you code and we can try to help!

here is my coding.. at the end of the program you will see a code of timestamp()
dont know if that is rite or wrong.

Hi Guys..

i was wondering if any of you have tryed to put date and time on c programming? as i trying to get it.. seems doesnt work.. does any1 here have a code for it?
thanks

Hi Bhavesh,
Here is a sample code which will give you the current date and time.


#include<time.h>

int main(){
struct tm *tm;
time_t curtime;
char *ntm;

curtime = time(NULL);

tm = localtime(&curtime);
ntm = asctime(tm);

printf("Time = %s\n",ntm);
return 0;
}

Hope Ur problem is solved...

Regards,
chella
