How to format time hours-minutes-seconds in C

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main() {
    // Get the current time
    time_t rawtime;
    struct tm *timeinfo;
    char buffer[9]; // HH:MM:SS is 8 characters + null terminator

    time(&rawtime);
    timeinfo = localtime(&rawtime);

    // Format the time as "HH:MM:SS"
    strftime(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%H:%M:%S", timeinfo);

    printf("Formatted Time: %s\n", buffer);

    return 0;
}
