Thread: for loop problem

Hello I have a question. Why is it that this 2 for statements combines each time I execute it.
Instead of writing 10 "." each, it writes 20 "." instead. Can you guys help me?

I want to execute the program like this:
Enter IP Address:
Enter Port Number:

..........<--delay()
Connected to remote host "<<ip<<" at "<<"port "<<port
Exiting
..........<--delay()

I need the experts help please. Thank you very much!

Code:

void timer();
void connect();

char ip[15];
int port;
main ()
{
cout<<"Enter IP Address: ";
cin>>ip;	
cout<<"Enter Port Number: ";
cin>>port;
connect();
timer();

return 0;
}
void connect()	
{	
	cout<<"\nConnected to remote host "<<ip<<" at "<<"port "<<port;
        cout<<"\nExiting";
        for (int a=0;a<10;a++)
        { 
                  printf(".");
                  Sleep(500);
        }	
}
void timer()
{
    int i;
	for( i=0;i<10;i++)
	{
		printf(".");
		Sleep(500);
	}
}
