How to find number of days and difference between to dates using C

printf("This program will ask for two date values in the formate of DD-MM-YYYY and produces the number of days between the two dates also if those dates are your birth date and some later date then it will display your age till the later date.This will not validate for any wrong entry for days(like more than 30-31) and months(like more than 12).However if you enter,you will get some unexpected result. If you need, with a few changes and little affords you can achieve your requirements.\n");
