Combining common code in functions as individual function in C++? -

i'm working on application in c++, , small part of involves appending date , time in array values, i've created couple of functions these values , make them more user-friendly. there's common chunk of code between 2 functions, , can't remember life of me how stick in it's own function , have work currently. full code below:

// getdateandtime.cpp : defines entry point console application. //  #include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <ctime> #include <sstream>  using namespace std;  string gettime(); string getdate();  int main() {     string thetime = gettime();     string thedate = getdate();      cout << "it " << thetime << " on " << thedate << endl;      return 0; }  string gettime() {     // define variables     string strhour;     string strmin;      // local time     time_t now;     struct tm nowlocal;     = time(null);     nowlocal = *localtime(&now);      int hour = nowlocal.tm_hour;     int min = nowlocal.tm_min;      // send hour value string     stringstream sshour;     sshour << hour;     if (hour >= 0 && hour <= 9)     {         strhour = "0" + sshour.str();     }     else     {         strhour = sshour.str();     }      // send min value string     stringstream ssmin;     ssmin << min;     if (min >= 0 && min <= 9)     {         strmin = "0" + ssmin.str();     }     else     {         strmin = ssmin.str();     }      string curtime = strhour + ":" + strmin;      return curtime; }  string getdate() {     // define variables     string strday;     string strmonth;     string stryear;      // local time     time_t now;     struct tm nowlocal;     = time(null);     nowlocal = *localtime(&now);      int day = nowlocal.tm_mday;     int month = nowlocal.tm_mon + 1;     int year = nowlocal.tm_year + 1900;      // send day value string     stringstream ssday;     ssday << day;     if (day >= 1 && day <= 9)     {         strday = "0" + ssday.str();     }     else     {         strday = ssday.str();     }      // send month value string     stringstream ssmonth;     ssmonth << month;     if (month >= 1 && month <= 9)     {         strmonth = "0" + ssmonth.str();     }     else     {         strmonth = ssmonth.str();     }      // send year value string     stringstream ssyear;     ssyear << year;     stryear = ssyear.str();      string curdate = strday + "/" + strmonth + "/" + stryear;      return curdate; } 

the code block in question 1 commented "get local time". i'd appreciate @ all! thank you!

you can define function called getlocaltime. function these 4 lines contains. in both gettime , getdate you'll call it.
