    How to add some time to a prog

    Is there any command that makes the program stop for a few seconds and then move on again?

    Very dependant on operating system and compiler.
    For msvc and windows....

    #include <windows.h>

    Sleep(1000); // will pause for a minimum of 1 second. number is millisecs. notice the S not s
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!

    ... your own OS will have a similar function, (might be sleep(), wait() etc.).
