Time delay function

[sundeeptuteja]

Hello everyone. Is there a time delay function defined in ANSI/ISO C++, perhaps similar to sleep() or delay() of Borland C++?

Nope, you have to roll your own or use a nonstandard function offered by your compiler :-)

void mySleep(float seconds)
{
    using namespace std;
    clock_t goal_time = clock() + static_cast<clock_t>(seconds*static_cast<float>(CLOCKS_PER_SEC));
    while (clock() < goal_time);
}

Thanks Sang-drax, that did the trick. I will try to figure out how exactly the code works soon enough.
