Problem Statement

Output the system time   (any units will do as long as they are noted) either by a system command or one built into the language. The system time can be used for debugging, network information, random number seeds, or something as simple as program performance.

Let's start with the solution:

put (datetime()); /* writes out the date and time */
                  /* The time is given to thousandths of a second, */
                  /* in the format hhmiss999 */
put (time());     /* gives the time in the format hhmiss999. */
