you use the sleep(milliseconds) function in <windows.h>. It will pause the program for the amount of milliseconds without any "Press any key.." or anything.
Have fun

Hi!
If you would like to pause a very short amount of time you could try:
-----------------------
#include <time.h>
-----------------------
tmrstart=(clock()/(double) CLOCKS_PER_SEC)+0.02; '0.02' is the pause value
// A small break
while((clock()/(double) CLOCKS_PER_SEC)<tmrstart){
;
}

or not the prettiest way but yuo could also create a nested for loop which would delay the program, but again not the most efficient
for(int k = 0; k<10000; k++)
{
for (int j = 0;j<10000;j++)
{}
{
and modify the 10,000 according to how much delay you want
>>> you use the sleep(milliseconds) function in <windows.h>.
The function is Sleep() not sleep(), (S not s). If you are not using Windows it may be sleep() or wait() or alarm() or possibly something else.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity unto the dream.
