Shut down PC via C++

Question

Hello guys! I need a small help. I want to turn off my pc after some time but i want a program that accepts an input and then pass it to the function "system". I know if i put seconds (f.e 3600 ) and not use the variable "tim" that the program will work. Is there any way to do so? here is my code:

thanks anyway :D

Answer 1

you arent using the variable, you are using the string "tim"

Answer 2

have you converted value of tim to string? read about std::to_string function.

and then do like:
system("first part" + tim_string + "second part");

I think it should work.

Answer 3

You have a point! I tried it But it didn't work... Or I did something wrong... :/

Answer 4

Thank you guys very much. I am sorry about the days that gone without answering. I used "kurwius" answer and now the exe works fine!! I am able to shut down my pc right at the time(minutes) that I want to! Be well!
