You need to include TIME.H and then you can use the following.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
 
int main ()
{
	char *date;
	
	time_t timer;

	timer=time(NULL);
	
	date = asctime(localtime(&timer));

	printf("Current Date: %s", date);
	
	getchar();
	return 0;
}

You need to call function asctime and localtime to retrieve the time and format it in a readable manner. You create a pointer to type char to store the memory address of the resulting value that is returned. Then you can just display it using the string format specifier.
