time and date related functions.

The following information gives a taste of the date and time related functions. It strikes me that this is overly complicated, but what do I know... To review all the functions available in the standard library, click here.

  Library:   time.h

  Prototype: char      *asctime  (const struct tm *time);   
             char      *ctime    (const time_t    *timer);
             struct tm *localtime(const time_t    *timer);

             size_t strftime(char            *s, 
          		     size_t           maxsize, 
		   	     const           *format,
	   		     const struct tm *time);

  Syntax:    

The prototype list does NOT list all the functions that are described in time.h - only the ones I have used and shown in the example that follows.

Example program.

Here is a time related problem.
