   time_t currentDateAndTime;
   struct tm * getTime;

   time (&currentDateAndTime); //get the current system date and time
   getTime = localtime (&currentDateAndTime); //store the time in struct variable

   hours=getTime->tm_hour; //extract hours from time
   mins=getTime->tm_min; //extract mintues from time
   sec=getTime->tm_sec; //extract seconds from time

   //if hours is greater than 12 set time as PM
   if(hours>12)
   {
       hours=hours-12;
       amOrpm="PM";
   }
   //else set time as AM
   else
       amOrpm="AM";
  
   //display the time      
   cout<<"\nThe current time is "<<hours<<":"<<mins<<":"<<sec<<" "<<amOrpm<<"\n";
   return 0;
}
