How to display real time in c++

Question

Can some one tell me how do i display real time in c++. what i mean is that while the program is running you can see the seconds and or minutes counting down like a real clock h

Answer 1

Not in C++ (in C/Win32) but works.

#include 
#include 


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    SYSTEMTIME stime;   //structure to store system time (in usual time format)
    FILETIME ltime;     //structure to store local time (local time in 64 bits)
    FILETIME ftTimeStamp;
    char TimeStamp[256];//to store TimeStamp information
    while (true){
    ////Prepare data needed to output the time stamp:
    GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&ftTimeStamp); // Gets the current system time
    FileTimeToLocalFileTime (&ftTimeStamp,<ime);//convert in local time and store in ltime
    FileTimeToSystemTime(<ime,&stime);//convert in system time and store in stime

    sprintf(TimeStamp, "%d:%d:%d, %d.%d.%d \r",stime.wHour,stime.wMinute,stime.wSecond, stime.wDay,stime.wMonth,stime.wYear);
    printf(TimeStamp);

    Sleep(1000);
    }

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}
