    there is,
    just include <windows.h>
    and then you can use Sleep(x);
    where x is the number of milliseconds and Sleep must be capitalized.

    if its for a non windows o/s i think you can use _sleep(x) defined in conio.h

    I think this can be done without recourse to anything but the standard libraries

    void delay(time_t d)
    {
    time_t start;
    time(&start);
    while( time(NULL) < start+d);
    }

    you will have to
    #include <time.h> in the above code .
