Using the sleep function with a float

[keyboard]

I have written this code and it will work with an interger but not a float. I have tried casting but it does not run correctly. I want to pause for 0.5 seconds when each line prints. Here is the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main() {

    int n = 1;
    char fz[] = "Fizz";
    char bz[] = "Buzz";
    char fb[] = "FizzBuzz";
    float sec = 0.5;

    for ( n = 1; n < 101 ; ++n ) 
        if ( n % 15 == 0 ) {
            printf("%s\n", fb);
            sleep((int)sec);
        } else if ( n % 5 == 0 ) {
            printf("%s\n", bz);
            sleep((int)sec);
        } else if ( n % 3 == 0 ) {
            printf("%s\n", fz);
            sleep((int)sec);
        } else {
            printf("%d\n", n);
            sleep((int)sec);
        }

    return 0;

}

If I change the function line to sleep(1); it works but is a bit slow.

I suggest using more than a single line of code inside the code tags.

It was a mistake to post it that way. I'll try to fix it.

You could take a look at the usleep() function : usleep(3) - Linux man page

I don't think the majority will be able to help you with that program. It's simply far too advanced for those of us who are Comp Sci. graduates

What result do you expect (int)sec to give?
