how to do delay in C++

-----------------------------------

If you have ever used turing, there's a delay function. 
it looks like this 
delay(1000);
1000 means 1 second
and the program will stop for 1 second, and continue on.
does anybody know how to do that?

I believe it is:
sleep(1000);

include 

and then you can use the Sleep(); function. Be warned that it is not very exact, so if you tell it 1000 you might get 1010. A more exact, yet slightly worse way it to get the start time using the starndard time(); function and then poll it until the new time is greater then the start time plus your delay. 

I don't know what time standard time(); uses, it might be the unix time format... but if you do a quick google I'm sure you'll find all you need. Oh, and the header is  I think... again, google is your friend.
