Pausing before exiting function?

is there any function that i could use to pause a couple of seconds at the terminal before exiting the program. Say i tell the user do u wish to exit, my function automatically closes the window but i want something that could pause for a little while

Maybe some combination of atexit() and sleep()?

or Sleep() if you're on Windows.

Its on this that i wanted to implement it:

Code:

---


while ((choice= getchar())!= EOF)  {
    switch (choice)
      {
      case 'Y':
      case 'y':
      main();
      break;

      case 'N':
      case 'n':
      printf("Thank you for Your Time\n");
      exit(0);
      break;
     
      default:
      printf("Oooop Sorry Invalid Answer! Please Try Again!!");
      choice;
      break;
      }
    }

so if the user enters N, i want it to delay for a couple of seconds rather than immediately exiting
