Hello DooMWiz,

I could not find a problem there,
you are just printing two times the same value.

>int main()
>{
>  time_t now;
>  time(&now);

You give the actual time to the "now" variable

>  printf("Time is %d\n", now);

You  print the value of "now".

>  delay(2000);

You wait 2000 milliseconds.

>  printf("Time is %d\n", now);

You print the value of "now" variable.  that never changed its value.

>  return 0;
>}

You should add a "time(&now);" before the second print for refresh the "now"
value or
use "printf("Time is %d\n", time(NULL));" to always retrieve the actual
time.


bye,
