How to add a time delay in c++?

Question

I want to add a time delay b/w two commands in c++. I'll prefer a function with its header file,than a loop. I've tried many but none worked.

Answer 1

first way: use sleep function

second way:
include <ctime>
paste this function:
int delay(int milliseconds){
clock_t goal = milliseconds + clock();
while(goal>clock());
return 1;
}
then call delay function ex:
delay(2*1000);
cout << "Cow please gimme a milk :(";

Answer 3

@Martin

I found one that works.

Because it does not use sleep

It just does not show the countdown.

Answer 4

@Martin

You are right while the code is a functional timer the SL compiler does not do it justice.

Answer 5

I have used sleep function, including <windows.h>.
But it didn't worked. The output came at once. Someone suggested me delay(),usleep()....blah blah
