To pause execution for 1 second:

On windows:
[code]#include 

int main() {
    Sleep(1000);
}[/code]

On *nix:
[code]#include 

int main() {
    sleep(1000);
}[/code]

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.
