    Time delay in C

    Hi!
    How do we implement time delay in C without using loops? Is there a function? If so, what is the header file?
    Thanks.

    It depends on your compiler and OS

    unsigned int sleep(unsigned int seconds);

    DESCRIPTION
    sleep() makes the calling thread sleep until seconds seconds have elapsed or a signal arrives which is not ignored.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
