Thread: printinga number while being incrementing on the screen

Hi All
How can i print/display a number being incremented on the screen. For example
a variable 'i' is being incremented like this i = i+224, i would like to print this number on the screen while its being incremented something like below:


224(then 448 etc)

not like the below:

224 448 672 etc
Any help will highly be appreciated
Regards

Doesn't this format only display the total incremented number? i dont want to have that....

An example of what i am trying to accomplish here is, if you install a software and the progress bar increases and the % number being incremented on the screen displaying the % complete of installation. I would like to do something like that, to display the %number being incremented on the screen.

   for ( i = 0; i < 100000 * 224; i += 224 )
   {
      printf("\r&#37;d", i);
   }
   return 0;
}

Whether or not that does what you want is up to the command shell to a large degree.

This will not do it. Most likely!

First there is no sleep or as such to allow us to see the increment. Then there is no '\n' printed so
printf will buffer the output and will print unpredictably!
There should be a sleep, and a flush call to make it work!
