press any key to continue?

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.
