I understand that this question has been asked multiple times already, but I don't think it's well understood by the answers given. So I'll try asking it again and hopefully make it a bit clearer. This is a C program problem.

Question:

You can find out how many seconds have elapsed since Jan 1, 1970, using the time() function.

#include now = time(NULL); // now is more than a billion seconds (which data type should you use?)

Write a program that estimates how many years, months, weeks, days, and hours have gone by since Jan 1, 1970, by calculations with the number of seconds that have passed. The number of months must be less than 12, i.e., take out how many years have gone by first, then how many months are left, then weeks, etc.

Assume that all years have 365 days, and all months have 30.42 days.

Dont use a calculator, or any web site that reports the number of seconds in a month, etc. your C program can calculate anything that you need.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The output should be a counter clock of the "current day" by displaying how many years, then months, then weeks, then days, and then hours have gone by since Jan. 1 1970.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Output:

//So if we were to take today's date as an example (06/22/2017 @ 11:09 AM) the output should read exactly like:

It's been 47 years, 5 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, and 22 hours. And counting since Jan. 1 1970.
