How to display real time in c++
<p>Can some one tell me how do i display real time in c++. what i mean is that while the program is running you can see the seconds and or minutes counting down like a real clock hanging on the wall</p>

<p>this is what I have: </p>

<pre><code>int main ()
{
  time_t rawtime; //creates and object of the built in time function
  struct tm * timeinfo; //no idea what this do

  time ( &amp;rawtime ); //gets the time from the computer
  timeinfo = localtime ( &amp;rawtime ); //store that time here

  //it displays current date and time except time is frozen and not real time
  cout&lt;&lt; "Current local time and date: "&lt;&lt;asctime (timeinfo)&lt;&lt; endl; 


  system("pause");
  return 0;

}
</code></pre>
