Hi Lysie. This looks like homework. Usually we don't do that.
If you need some examples using etime you could type
"edit etime" on the octave command line and have a look at the tests at
the bottom. You should be able to figure out the answer from this.

%! t1 = [1993, 8, 20, 4, 56, 1];
%! t2 = [1993, 8, 21, 4, 56, 1];
...
%! assert (etime (t2, t1), 86400);
