Input

[Unregistered]

I was just wondering how do I input text on the screen each letter coming after the other For example :

T(wait one second)E(wait another second) so on you know what I mean?

put the text in a string like char a[1000]="THIS IS A TEXT";
then run it through a loop like

for(int i=0; a[i] != NULL; i++){
delay();
printf("%c", a[i]}
something like this...

[Commander]

here's a cleaner version...it desen't wait i second though, I don't know how long it waits!

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <conio.h>


delay();

main(){
char a[100]= "this is a text";

for(int i=0; a[i]!=NULL;i++){
delay();
printf("%c", a[i]);
}

getch();
}

delay(){
for(int i=0; i<99000000; i++);
}

>for(int i=0; a[i]!=NULL;i++){
You cannot declare a variable here (I think you can in C99, but not a prior version of C).

>delay(void);
Should be declared as
>void delay(void);

Depending on you compiler, there are non-standard delay functions available that are better than loops that do nothing.

Review your documentation for Sleep() (sometimes found in windows.h).

Or you could try something like this

#include <time.h>
.......
void delay(int seconds)
{
	clock_t endtime = clock() + seconds * CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
	while ( ( clock() < endtime ) );
}
