Whats wrong with my countdown program?

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <conio.c>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;

void time(float counter, int x, int y, WORD color);

int main()
{
time(2.00, 20, 0, FOREGROUND_BLUE);
getch();
return 0;
}


void time(float counter, int x, int y, WORD color)
{
HANDLE output=GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
COORD cursor={x, y};

SetConsoleCursorPosition(output, cursor);
SetConsoleTextAttribute(output, color);

for (int i=counter;i>=0.00;i-0.01) {
cout << counter;
Sleep(100);
clrscr(); }
}

in your for loop:

Code:

---

for (int i=counter;i>=0.00;i -= 0.01)
{
    cout << counter;
    Sleep(100); 
    clrscr();
}

---

try that

or that loop could be your whole program...

nope, still bad. Its weird, it doesn't display the zeros after the decimal. By the way, I took xnlk's advice and also replaced in counter variable in the loop with an "i". It still doesn't do what I want it to do.(display the time on the top middle portion of the screen and countdown all the way to zero)
