Description

This shows the strftime function . In this particular example we are returning the day but there are a number of other formats we can display.

Code

#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
struct tm *ptr;
time_t tm;
char str[60];

tm = time(NULL);
ptr = localtime(&tm);
strftime(str ,100 , "It is %A.\n",ptr);
printf(str);

return 0;
}

Information

Tested in Visual C++6 and LCC win32.
