how to delay an output ?

Question

which function or header file is used to delay the output for few seconds ?

Answer 1

For Windows OS, this will work:

#include <windows.h>

Sleep(x);

Where x = # of milliseconds, where 1000ms = 1s

Answer 2

dos.h and time.h

Answer 3

this_thread::wait_for(chrono::seconds(1));

This is going to wait exactly one second. chrono is in library chrono and this_thread in library thread (i think).

Answer 4

@Ternary: Great example but unfortunately that's C++11 which is not being taught here. People here are using SoloLearns compiler and Borlands Turbo C++. Made my very first steps in C++, that's how old and obsolete Turbo C++ is now :-)
