C++ How to use Date and Time

The C++ standard library does not provide a proper date type. C++ inherits the structs and functions for date and time manipulation from C. To access date and time related functions and structures, you would need to include <ctime> header file in your C++ program. There are four time-related types: clock_t, time_t, size_t , and tm . The types clock_t, size_t and time_t are capable of representing the system time and date as some sort of integer. The structure type tm holds the date and time in the form of a C structure having the following elements: struct tm { int tm_sec ; // seconds of minutes from 0 to 61 int tm_min ; // minutes of hour from 0 to 59 int tm_hour ; // hours of day from 0 to 24 int tm_mday ; // day of month from 1 to 31 int tm_mon ; // month of year from 0 to 11 int tm_year ; // year since 1900 int tm_wday ; // days since sunday int tm_yday ; // days since January 1st int tm_isdst ; // hours of daylight savin...
