Thread: Pausing before exiting function?

is there any function that i could use to pause a couple of seconds at the terminal before exiting the program. Say i tell the user do u wish to exit, my function automatically closes the window but i want something that could pause for a little while

Maybe some combination of atexit() and sleep()?

Its on this that i wanted to implement it:

Code:

while ((choice= getchar())!= EOF)  {
     switch (choice) 
      {
       case 'Y': 
       case 'y':
       main();
       break;

       case 'N': 
       case 'n': 
       printf("Thank you for Your Time\n");
       exit(0);
       break;
      
       default: 
       printf("Oooop Sorry Invalid Answer! Please Try Again!!");
       choice;
       break;
      }
    }

so if the user enters N, i want it to delay for a couple of seconds rather than immediately exiting
