Provide a method for the user to provide input. My preference would be 
using the command line, but you might be required to send prompts to 
stdout and read input from stdin. Write some code to pass and validate 
the input. Write some code find out the current date. Write some code to 
find the difference between the two. C provides various library 
functions to assist in these tasks.

If you are completely stuck then you should probably ask your tutor for 
extra help. Otherwise make an attempt and post it here.
