First Method
Printing current date and time using time()
Second Method
// CPP program to print current date and time // using time and ctime. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <time.h> int main()
{ // declaring argument of time()
time_t my_time = time (NULL);
// ctime() used to give the present time
printf ( "%s" , ctime (&my_time));
return 0;
} |
Output:
It will show the current day, date and localtime, in the format Day Month Date hh:mm:ss Year
Third Method
Here we have used chrono library to print current date and time . The chrono library is a flexible collection of types that tracks time with varying degrees of precision .
The chrono library defines three main types as well as utility functions and common typedefs.
-> clocks
-> time points
-> durations
Code to print current date, day and time .
// CPP program to print current date and time // using chronos. #include <chrono> #include <ctime> #include <iostream> using namespace std;
int main()
{ // Here system_clock is wall clock time from
// the system-wide realtime clock
auto timenow =
chrono::system_clock::to_time_t(chrono::system_clock::now());
cout << ctime (&timenow) << endl;
} |
Output:
It will show the current day, date and localtime, in the format Day Month Date hh:mm:ss Year
