I need to write a program that reads two times from the console and then returns the difference between them, so that I can apply the concept to other situations. The issue is that I don't understand the time.h library, I don't actually know C, and I can't for the life of me parse an array with hh:mm:ss into three different arrays. If I could do that, I could then turn all of it into integers and go from there, then just print the results. Any help? Thank you very much in advance!

I'm not really sure what you are asking in this question. This link talks about the time.h library: ctime (time.h) - C++ Reference

In C time is usually represented as an integer (of type time_t) that represents the number of seconds that have passed since 00:00 January 1, 1970. I hope this helps steer you in the right direction.

You can convert strings to integers with atoi() function, also take a look at sprintf function.
