system date

[arunjyoti]

I was going to make a simple program for calcualting one's age.

I have made it . The user have to insert his date of birth and also current date(today's date)..

but i want to calculate it without entering today's date by the user.

I think to do that I have to take the system date.

but I don't know how to do that.

Please help.

Look at this page.

I combination of time(...) and gmtime(...) or localtime(...) should give you what you want.

Assuming of course that the computers clock is set correctly.
