hello, i'm new to programming in i'm trying to solve this exercise in C, basically it's the amount of passed hours between the start of a game and it's end, if the game started at 16 and ended at 2 the result is a game with 10 hours(in different days) i know i can to it more manually, but i wanted to somehow use the <time.h> to learn how to use a header etc, can someone help me?, thank you all

I think the is the most accurate solution, clock() as suggested by another answer may overflow, but this only suffers from potential precision problems with double, but you'd have to wait for an incredibly long time for this to become significant.
