This is part of the program I wrote. I need to use the
difftime(time_t, time_t) function but I am not sure of how to use it.
do {
switch(operation)
{
case 1:
answer=random_integer1 + random_integer2;
time(&start);
cout << random_integer1 << "+" << random_integer2 << endl;
cin >>value;
if (answer == value)
{
cout<<"You are right!"<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<"You are wrong!"<<endl;
}
time(&end);
}
dif = difftime (end,start);
}while (dif <60);
5 4254
difftime returns the difference in seconds expresssed as a double. So use a double in your code: - if (difftime(timeA, timeB) > 60.0)
-
{
-
etc...
How do i loop the program then? If i use do while loop, what is the condition that i should use? thanks
if(difftime(end,start)<60)
{
do
{
cout<<"What's your name?"<<endl;
cin>>name;
}while (condition)
}

OK, so you want to run the while loop for how long? Exactly, while the difference is smaller than 60. So, put that in the condition and voila! A functioning loop.
Of course, the difference between start and end has to be calculated every time you check, not just once - otherwise you'll get an infinite loop.
Greetings,
Nepomuk
After analyzing all the given suggestions, I came up with this code:
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
srand((unsigned)time(0));
time_t start,end;
int random_integer4, random_integer5, adv_operation, adv_value, random_integer6;
int adv_ans;
double dif_total=0.00;
adv_operation = (rand()%2)+1;
do{
switch(adv_operation)
{
case 1:
random_integer4 = (rand()%30)+1;
adv_ans= random_integer4 * random_integer4;
time (&start);
cout << random_integer4 << (char)253 <<endl;
cin >> adv_value;
if (adv_ans == adv_value)
{
cout<<"You are right!"<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<"You are wrong!"<<endl;
}
time (&end);
dif_total = dif_total + difftime(end,start);
break;
case 2:
random_integer5 = (rand()%30)+1;
random_integer6 = random_integer5 * random_integer5;
adv_ans = random_integer5;
time (&start);
cout << (char)251 << random_integer6 << endl;
cin >>adv_value;
if (adv_ans == adv_value)
{
cout<<"You are right!"<<endl;
}
else
{
cout<<"You are wrong!"<<endl;
}
time (&end);
dif_total = dif_total + difftime(end,start);
break;
}
}while(dif_total<10.0);
cout<<"Your score is"<<endl;
return 0;
}
Now I have problem putting the difftime(end, start) into a function itself. How do I put it into a function?
Thanks.
Just write a function that takes three arguments. The two times and the limit value. Return false if the return from difftime exceeds the limit, otherwise return true.
Since there wouldn't be aby logic in the function beyond the call to difftime, why do you feel the need to put difftime in its own function?
