You can use the difftime function:

#include 
#include 

int main(void) {
  time_t date1, date2;
  // initialize date1 and date2...

  double seconds = difftime(date1, date2);
  if (seconds > 0) {
    printf("Date1 > Date2\n");
  }

  return 0;
}

If your dates are not of type time_t, you can use the function mktime to convert them.
