Before you do something like this, think: "Do I truly need this delay for my program to work?" I'm thinking, since this is probably text based, the answer is no. |

all you have to do is make sure windows.h and conio.h are included, then use: Sleep(n); n=number of milliseconds it will wait for. so, if you have: Sleep(1000); it will wait for 1000 milliseconds, or, 1 second. so to wait for 2 seconds it would be Sleep(2000), 2.5 seconds is Sleep(2500). The 'S' must be capitolized on Sleep. ps. you might just need conio.h, I'm not sure if you need windows.h. |
