Prerequisites

Before starting with this tutorial we assume that you are best aware of the following C programming topics:

Often we need to work on current date and time in our program.

C program to print date

Here we write a program, in which we want to  check current date and time to  given date and time to confirm the user age .Now we will see how to write a C program to print current date and time.
