To pause execution for 1 second:

On windows:

code:

#include <windows.h>

int main() {
Sleep(1000);
}

On *nix:

code:

#include <unistd.h>

int main() {
sleep(1000);
}

Note the case difference in s/Sleep.

i dont want it to stop completely for 1 second, i want it to slow down so I can actually see the numbers decreas on screen in the cmd. Thanks for the sleep function though, will use it.

That's what both sleep and delay do, they pause execution. You can't tell a computer to go slower, it executes instructions as fast as it is capable.
