Difference between time_t and clock_t

The example:


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	time_t time_start, time_end;
	time(&time_start);
	sleep(5);
	time(&time_end);
	cout<<difftime(time_end, time_start)<<endl;  // 5

	clock_t clock_start, clock_end;
	clock_start = clock();
	sleep(5);
	clock_end = clock();
	cout<<(clock_end-clock_start)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC<<endl;  // 0
	return 0;
}

It is clear to see that time_t is used to test the real time, while clock_t is used to test the cost of CPU time, because sleep(5) don't occupy any CPU resource.
