Question

I would like to save the current day, month, and year into three ints. I have no idea how to do this.

int day;
int month;
int year;

Answer 1

#include <ctime>

int main() {
    time_t t = time(0);  // current time: http://cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/time/
    struct tm * now = localtime(&t);  // http://cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/localtime/

    // struct tm: http://cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/ctime/tm/
    int day = now->tm_mday;
    int month = now->tm_mon + 1;
    int year = now->tm_year + 1900;
}
