C++ :: School Project - Getting Current Date And Time

Dec 30, 2014

I am doing a school project. The project basically is that it records the in and out time of an employee(of an particular company).The employee while checking in or out should enter a unique key generated specially for him so that no one else can check in and out for him.Then referring to the employees position( A worker or a manager or something like that) his total working time each day , for a week and a month is calculated. The company starts at 8 am and ends at 5 pm for 1st shift and for second shift from 3.30 pm to 2.30 am. Plus Saturday and Sunday off. Then after a month the program refers to the working time date stored in a file and calculates his pay(For workers its per hour salary and for managers it aint).

If an employee is consistently late the details are forwarded to the HR account( so that necessary steps are taken).This will support the company log the details of their employees duty time plus give enough detail to take action if someones always late. I'm doing this as a school project and it needn't be of enterprise class and all.. But i want the coding to perform as it should. Also i'm forced to use the old Turbo C++. Now i'm struck in the place where the time of the employees in and out time is logged. This coding does the work

Code:
void main( ) {
clrscr();
char dateStr [9],timeStr [9];
_strdate( dateStr);
cout<<" The current date is "<<dateStr<<'

[Code] ....

I think the second one is better as it not only gives me date but also gives me the day so i can check easily for the weekends. So, how these time functions work.

C++ :: Calculate Approximate Age Of User Based On Current Date And Their Birthday

Nov 23, 2012

I have an extra credit project where I'm supposed to calculate an approximate the user's age based on the current date and their birthday. My problem is that I am not getting the proper date and time. C++ keeps giving me some random date. I looked up c++ time format on the internet because this is extra credit and not in my book.

I am currently using dev C++ 4.9.9.2. Here is my current code :

// included libraries
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <time.h>
#define cls system("cls")
#define pauseOutput system("pause")
void printM(int x);
void age(int m, int d, int y, int &yearAge, int &monthAge, int &dayAge);

[Code] ....

C++ :: Program Which Takes Date And Time Input From The User

Jan 20, 2013

I am writing a C++ program which takes date & time input from the user. This is then parsed into a struct such as:

struct time
{
short year;
short month;
short day;
short hour;
short min;
};

My question is: how can I convert such a struct into a time_t object, which is an unsigned long giving the time as the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch Jan 1st 1970, 00:00, as set out in time.h.

I am wondering if this can be achieved using the standard library, or whether I just need to write a function to perform the appropriate arithmetic.

C Sharp :: Compare Date In Registry With Local Time?

Feb 2, 2013

The first time my application opens up, it should get the local date out of the System and store this in a registry key. But the second time it should get the date stored in that registryKey and compare it to the date right now.And there is where I am stuck, I just don't know how to get the date out of that key and compare it to the date right now.

This is my code:

RegistryKey key1;  
        private void btnTrial_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            DateTime current = DateTime.Now;  
            key1 = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("myKey");    
            if (key1 == null)

[code]....

at the last "if" statement it should compare the date stored in the key with the DateTime.Now.

C :: Program To Take Time And Date Typed By User And Increase It By 1 Minute

Mar 22, 2013

I'm having a problem with my homework. The task is to write a program that will take time and date typed by user, and increase it by 1 minute. I should write 3 functions - first calls second function that updates time and calls third function, if time is 00:00.Time update works, but date update does not.My whole written code:

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
struct DateAndTime {
struct date {
int day;
int month;
int year;

[code]....

I should check if inputs are numbers only, so I tried including isdigit function from ctype.h library, but that didn't work either, after I was trying it for a good hour or so, but I kinda rage quit that...

C :: Possible To Create Char String At Compile Time?

Mar 28, 2014

I would like to have a program with a 5 mb string embedded in it kind of like this:

Code:

const char *c;
c = (const char*)"BEGIN_STRING_HERE, (5 MB of arbitrary values here)";

Is it possible to generate this string at compile time? Maybe with a macro? I'm trying to avoid a source file with a 5 mb string in it.
