Thread: Display a message in one second

Code:

#include <stdio.h>


int main()
{
	// display message 
	printf("Record deleted.\n");


	return 0;
}

How can I display the message in one second before the program ends?

How about just sleeping for a second before the program exits (returns from main())?

A portable programmer might use something along the lines of

Code:

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
void msleep(unsigned int ms) {
    Sleep(ms);
}
#else
#ifndef BSD_SOURCE
#define BSD_SOURCE 1
#endif
#include <unistd.h>
void msleep(unsigned int ms) {
    if (ms >= 1000U) sleep(ms / 1000U);
    if (ms % 1000U) usleep(1000U * (ms % 1000U));
}
#endif

to define a more or less portable function msleep(), which takes the number of milliseconds (thousandths of a second) to sleep as a parameter.

Try that, adding msleep(1000); before your return 0; line.
