I'm trying to access the tm_min variable in ctime library.

#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
using namespace std;
int main(void){
	struct tm *current;
	time_t raw;
	current = localtime(&raw);
	
	cout<<current.tm_min;
	
	return 0;
}

And I get error saying Structure required on left side of . or * in function main.. What did I did wrong?

You made it a pointer to that struct so you need to use -> or dereference then access members.


edit:

#include<iostream>
#include<ctime>
using namespace std;
int main(void){

	struct tm *current;
	time_t raw;
	time(&raw);
	current = localtime(&raw);
   
	cout<<current->tm_min;
   
	return 0;
}

I'd call time on raw before calling localtime, i was getting an exception error without it.

...omg. Simple error and I could not figure that out.

This is what you get after not coding much for the past 3 months.

edit : Forgot something. Thanks KYA.
