Please guys I need some help here , how can I make a text or a string blink in C++ and in C also ?! And thanks anyways !

Answer 1

while(true)
{
cout << "blinking text";
system("cls"); // stdlib.h
Sleep(1000); // only for windows - windows.h
}

Answer 2

I have an error while building and running that says : "[Error] 'sleep' was not declared in this scope" !!

Answer 3

you need to be on windows and include the header file "windows.h"

Answer 4

I'm on windows actually , and I just typed the code typically , but it got me that error I mentioned earlier ! do you know what is the reason ?!

Answer 5

you need to type this code in the main method.
you need a modern compiler (basically anything except turbo c compilers).
if it still doesn't work then I'm not really sure what else to do..

edit - you could also replace the sleep function with a for loop like this-

for(int i = 0; i < 99999; i++);

this basically eats away the memory and causes a delay. play around with the i < value and see what fits your need.
