Can we make a bot tell us the date?

Can it go on forever?

It should go like:

00.00.00

00.00.01

00.00.02...

I am sure this is possible!

If you want to print the date in a C program, have a look at this.

So the code would be something, like this:

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

int main()
{
    time_t t = time(NULL);
    struct tm dt = *localtime(&t);
    printf("now: %d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d\n", dt.tm_year + 1900, dt.tm_mon + 1, dt.tm_mday, dt.tm_hour, dt.tm_min, dt.tm_sec);
}

If you are not actually after the date, but rather you would like to measure the elapsed time (for the quiz you were asking before), then you'll need a different solution.

Let me know if you need help with that.
