Thread: Pause for just a bit...

How can I pause my program for like 3 seconds then clear the screen then put some text up? Any help would be great, thanks i advanced....

Code:

#include<iostream>
#include<windows.h>

using namespace std;

int main(void){

	cout<<"Here is my text";
	Sleep(3000);
	system("cls");

	return(0);
}

Sleep is in milliseconds and system gets passed a char * which represents what you would type at the console.

or you could do it the hard way using time.h and a while loop

You mean:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main(void){

               float time_delay = 3;
               cout<<"This is my text";

               clock_t delay = time_delay*CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
               clock_t start = clock();
               while (clock() - start < delay);

                system("cls");
                return 0;
}
