timer

i need to make a program that says how long the program has been open in seconds this is what i got so far but its not working.

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>

int main() 
{
     time_t seconds;
     int iIndex = 0;
     seconds = time (NULL);
     while (iIndex < 5)
     {
           std::cout << ++iIndex << std::endl;
     }
     std::cout << seconds/3600 << std::endl;
     system ("pause");
     return iIndex;
}

clock() gets the amount of time in milliseconds since the program started. So you won't even need to record the time at the start of the program.
