Thread: time.h

Just a quick question. I want to add a start and stop time
to my program. I know that i need to include time.h, but I
just cannot find what the (c) syntax would be.

Also, with ms visual c++ compiler, when the output prints
within the little black box on the screen, is there a easy
way I can control the amount of data that spins by. I cannot
backup the screen to see what has gone by.

Thats what help files are for. Also maybe read a few more posts here as something very similar to this has been answered already on this page of threads.

You as the programmer control whats on the screen so just print a screenful of data then ask for an input to see the next page etc.

One easy way to limit output is to append "getch();" to the end of each print command. If you're printing in a loop that looks like:

Code:

for(i=0;i<whatever;i++)
{
printf( "Array Data: %i \n",array[i] ); 
getch();
}

That is an example of printing the contents of an array, line by line.

If you want to print a page at a time, try two loops:

Code:

for(i=0;i<total_lines_divided_by_lines_per_page;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<lines_per_page;j++)
printf( "Array Data: %i \n",array[i] ); 
}
getch();
}

Thanks...this is what I was looking for.......
