mktime() - Time Date Function
How to convert date to calendar in C++?
Explanation
mktime() function converts the calendar time equivalent of the broken down structure pointed by "time". The "tm_wday", "tm_yday" elements are set by the function itself.
time_t mktime(struct tm *time);
Result :
February 2, 2010 was a:: Tuesday
In the above example "mktime()" is used to convert the "tm_wday" to find the weekday for the given date in calendar.
Syntax:
time_t mktime(struct tm *time);
Example :
| #include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> int main () { time_t tim; struct tm *ptr; int y = 2010, m = 2 ,d = 2; char * weekday[] = { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"}; time ( &tim ); ptr = localtime ( &tim ); ptr->tm_year = y - 1900; ptr->tm_mon = m - 1; ptr->tm_mday = d; mktime ( ptr ); printf ("February 2, 2010 was a:: %s.\n", weekday[ptr->tm_wday]); return 0; } |
Result :
February 2, 2010 was a:: Tuesday
In the above example "mktime()" is used to convert the "tm_wday" to find the weekday for the given date in calendar.
