time.h

[dep0]

Hi, i am having problem with libraries in c.
I have to write a program that uses the time.h library (in Borland). My compiler wont recognise these libraries.
Any suggestions?
Hint: I wanted the time.h function cause i had to calculate the time that a person enters and leaves a shop.
Any help is welcome.

Was time.h not recognized at compile time? or was this a link error?

compiler statements, error messages, and code always help as well :)

I actually just got it to work. The problem is it's not working properly. It was suppose to give me the seconds that had passed from 1-1-1970 (i think), but it keeps giving me the same number.

My code is

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

int main()
{
float i;
i=time(NULL);
printf("seconds passed from 1-1-1970 are %f\n", i);
return 0;

}



Sorry if it's a stupid mistake i am making it's the first time i use this function.

Not a stupid mistake, it's probably how printf is formatting i

try using ctime, and see if the problem persists

EDIT: When i said ctime, I meant the function in time.h, not the C++ header file. Sorry if that was confusing.
