Print system time in C++ (3 different ways)
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
