Program to print Date

Algorithm

Create a variable t_ti of type time which stores the time from Jan 1,1970
Create a pointer datePtr which stores the calendar dates.
Print the date, day and year using datePtr.

Code:

#include <iostream>\n#include <ctime>\n\nusing namespace std;\n\nint main() {\n    time_t ti = time(NULL);\n    tm* datePtr = localtime(&ti);\n\n    cout << \"Date: \" << (datePtr->tm_mday) << \"/\" << (datePtr->tm_mon) + 1 << \"/\" << (datePtr->tm_year) + 1900 << endl;\n\n    return 0;\n}\n\n

Use of terms used:

The time() function in C++ returns the current calendar time as an object of type time_t.

Localtime

struct tm * localtime (const time_t * timer);

Convert time_t to tm as local time

Uses the value pointed by timer to fill a tm structure with the values that represent the corresponding time, expressed for the local timezone.
