Answer 4

Include dos.h header file

use delay() function where you want to pause an output

in parenthesis as a parameter there will be time passed in millisecond that for how much time you want to pause the console or execution

eg., delay(5000);
It will pause the output or console screen for 5 seconds then after 5 seconds the next step or statement will be executed.

Answer 5

And if you want to wait the console screen to wait for you to enter a character before next instruction.then use getch() function that is in conio.h
so include that also if you are using Borland tc 3.0
