Thread: how can i use sleep in my code..

what i need to know is how can i make the numberzz go like
1 then rest for a sec
2 then rest for a sec
3 do the same as above
4 same....

now how can i do this in my code....

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{
int count;

for(count=10;count>0;count=count-1)
printf("%i\n",count);

}

If it's a windows compiler, then one option is:

#include <windows.h>
.
.
Sleep(1000); //Sleep 1 second

If you choose not to use <windows.h> and use Sleep(), I believe you can use <dos.h> and use Delay(). It works the same as sleep and is measure in miliseconds, so Sleep(3000) will sleep 3 seconds.

Example of Sleep for a Simple Progress Looking Bar:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main()
{
	int x;

	printf("\n\t[.....]\b\b\b\b\b\b");
	for (x=5; x>0; x--) 
	{
		Sleep(130);
		printf("-\b");
		Sleep(130);
		printf("+\b");
		Sleep(130);
		printf("*");
	}

	printf ("\n\n\t");

}

enjoy.
