bookWorking with <ctime>

Note
Definition

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

main.cpp

copy
12345678
#include <iostream> #include <ctime> int main() { std::cout << "The <ctime> header is ready to use!" << std::endl; return 0; }
Note
Note

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.
