How is "difftime()" used in C++?
|
|
Explanation |
|
difftime() is an I/O function that returns the difference of time between two time
values time2 and time1 in seconds.
Syntax:
double difftime( time_t time2, time_t time2 );
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int main()
{
time_t time1, time2;
time(&time1);
printf("Wait till 2 seconds\n");
do
{
time(&time2);
}while(difftime(time2,time1) < 2.0);
printf( "Loop finished after 2 secs\n");
return 0;
}
|
Result:
Wait till 2 seconds
Loop finished after 2 secs
In the above example difftime() is used exit a loop after "2" seconds.
