C Program to Get the Current System Time

Submitted by Srikanth on Wednesday, 16 January 20082 Comments

This program reads the current system time and displays it in the form HH:MM:SS

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>

int main(void)
{
struct time t;
gettime(&t);
printf(“The current time is: %2d:%02d:%02d\n”, t.ti_hour, t.ti_min, t.ti_sec);
return 0;
}

program that prints the time is
void main()
{
int hr,min,sec;
for(hr=0;hr<24;hr++);
{
for(min=0;min<60;min++);
{
for(sec=0;sec<60;sec++);
{
sleep(1);
clrscr();
printf("%d%d%d",hr,min,sec);
}
}
}
}

here "sleep(1)" command maintain interval of 1 sec between two print statements.
