Ok, i think i know the basics of what the functions
asctime() localtime() time(0) and ctime() do,
but what thing i still don't understand.
ok, given given
time_t ct;
char * tmstr;
AND
ct = time(0);
what is the difference between
tmstr = asctime(localtime(&ct));
and
tmstr = ctime(&ct);
from my observations, i see no differences aside from
one less function call (possibly).
Any ideas? And if there IS one less function call and nothing else,
why doesn't Circle make this change in the code, to save a little
bit of CPU time (i guess).
