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. |
