    Graphics problems

    hi all
    i don't know if this would be teh correct place to post but i dont know anywhere else...
    here goes.

    I'm having trouble trying to output a variable using graphics window BGI, i'm using Borland C++ builder....
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <conio.h> 
    #include "graphics2.h"
    #include <windows.h>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main(void)
    {    
      int GraphDriver = 0;
      int GraphMode = 0;
      GraphDriver = 0;
      GraphMode = 0; 
      int timer;
      timer = 5;    
      initgraph(&GraphDriver, &GraphMode, "", 640, 480);
    
      do
      {
        Sleep (999);
        outtextxy(10,200, timer);/*<<the timer variable is what i need to output but can't*/
        timer = (timer - 1);
      }while (timer >0);
    return = 0;
    }
    Basically its a 5 second countdown/timer , just can't get teh variable to output on screen.
    I'd appreciate any help

    Thanks.

    I'm not familiar with this borland graphics library that your using but maybe outtextxy expects a charactor string and not an int.
    you can use the itoa() function to create a charactor string from an int.
