The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Microsoft, Visual c++ Express, 2008

Hi,
Regarding  visual C++ and time in seconds:
1) I need to get the number of seconds since 1.1.1970 in double and in string.
I have:
include <time.h>
time_t ltime;
time (&ltime)
printf("Time in seconds since UTC 1/1/1970:\t%ld\n",ltime);

I want to get the answer (like 1217118187) as a double (to calculate time difference ) and in  a string (like 1217118187)  to do string manipulations.

2)Why is necessary to write:  :\t%ld\n  inside the printf comand above?
Thanks
