Use an if statement or a ternary expression.

And why are you using long long types for such small numbers?

Of course t2 is greater than t1, unless your clock goes backward or unless your clock wrapped around going forward (that's another way to say you did not provide enough info).

5. It's a long long, so probably in ticks, in which case 0 should be the time of the last system startup and it won't wrap around for a very, very long time.

Thank you, even if..., it's a long long time!

LOL. I didn't notice that. The question was at the top of the list today, so it must have been the victim of spam that had already been removed.
