Hi,
Perhaps I am asking a silly question, but I really don't know about it. Can anyone tell me the function for "sleep" kind of functionality in C language for Unix. I don't think any function with the name of sleep() exits in Unix's C language. or perhaps I am not known with the header file required for this. Can anyone guide me about the correct function to halt the program execution for a specified time? Do tell me the header file required for the function as well.
Regards,
I don't think there is (correct me if I'm wrong). The usual hack is:
Code:#include <time.h> void wait(unsigned timeout) { timeout += clock(); while(clock() < timeout) continue; }
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
There is no sleep function in standard C, but your OS may provide such a function. What OS are you using? In case of a Unix-like OS there is function sleep(), it's part of the POSIX standard, you need to include unistd.h for that.

When all else fails, read the instructions.
