    How do you determine the speed of a for loop?

    How do I manipulate the speed of a for loop?

    Base it on time.

    Or place a call to Sleep() in the body.

    That would be basing it on time

    umm......an example would be nice. I never dreamed of placing a loop inside of a Sleep(); function. Thats un-heard of

    Um... Not a loop in a Sleep() function, but the other way around.

    for (int a=0; a<10; a++)
    {
    Dosomething();
    Sleep(1); // I don't quite know the syntax of sleep, this could be wrong.
    }

    But I don't think you could find much use for a slowed down for-loop (unless you're fading the screen to black or something)

    Sleep(numofmiliseconds);

    Are you trying to find out the speed of a for loop? That depends on the code in the loop.

    D/l this header, it reads time at a certain line, then can tell you how long it took after the loop is finished.
