Thread: how do u say like H (wait 1 second) I

Hello, i would like to know how would u do like if u wanted to say hello but i your program say it like this: H (pause a second) E (pause a second) L (pause a second) L (pause a second) O
for a dos program

would i go

Code:

#include<iostream> 
#include<ctime> 

int main() 
{ 

float secs = 1; 
clock_t delay = secs * CLOCKS_PER_SEC; //convert to clock tics 
clock_t start = clock(); 
while(clock() - start < delay) 
; 
cout << "H";


float secs = 1; 
clock_t delay = secs * CLOCKS_PER_SEC; //convert to clock tics 
clock_t start = clock(); 
while(clock() - start < delay) 
; 
cout << "I";

return (0); 
}

Thank you

Why are you guys complicating it.. The below code will do it

Code:

# include <iostream.h>
# include <dos.h>


main()
{
char str[5]={"HEllO"};
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
	{

	cout<<str[i];
	delay(500);
	}

return 0;
}

You will have to replace the delay and the header dos.h with the one compliant with your compiler since they are not standard... But this code will compile on most of the compilers (Borland , Turbo etc etc)

Always try to simplify your entire program using loops and other structures...
