Incorrect Localtime?

Question

When I tried accessing the time (I live in Germany) via localtime function, I noticed that it is in fact two hours behind my current time.
Shouldnt it return my current time, or did I mistake something?
Or is there a different explanation?

Answer 1

Where did you run the code? In your PC or the Sololearn Compiler?

The Sololearn's Server Computer, where our codes compile, has the UTC Time Zone.

Answer 2

According to WorldTimeServer German timezone is UTC+2 (two hours faster)

I can only suggest to lookup for timezones information and related functions for translation of UTC/GMT to your local timezone.

Answer 3

@Kinshuk, yes, as I have no access to my laptop atm, I used this app to compile.
Well, that explains why localtime was similar to UTC time too, I suppose.
I already thought I mistook something about the use of localtime, thanks a lot!
I'll try it in Code::Blocks then as soon as I can...
