Working with <ctime>
The <ctime> header provides C-style functions for retrieving, converting, and manipulating time values, enabling basic operations like getting the current time or working with calendar dates.
C++ inherits time-handling functionality from the C standard library through <ctime>.
This header gives access to:
- Functions that retrieve the current system time.
- Tools that convert between different time representations.
- Data types that store time values efficiently.
It acts as a foundation for any program that needs to measure durations, log events, or schedule operations.
main.cpp
12345678#include <iostream> #include <ctime> int main() { std::cout << "The <ctime> header is ready to use!" << std::endl; return 0; }
The <ctime> header itself does not display time or handle formatting. It provides the types and functions that other parts of your program will use to do so.

What are the main functions provided by `<ctime>` in C++?
Can you give an example of how to use `<ctime>` to get the current time?
How does `<ctime>` differ from the newer `<chrono>` library in C++?
