C++ Sleep command??
Author
Hey guys just wondering if you guys new a command to make the computer wait a certain amount of time and then proceede for example:
sleep(1)
would make it wait 1 second then go on to the next line of code
Im am using Visual C++ and would like to know the header file that needs to be included as well
ALSO: if you know how to clear the screen that would be great as well. Thanks
Sure:
Sleep(1000); // Will suspend thread for 1 second
It's in windows.h...also note the capital 'S'

(Sleep question)
#include <stdlib.h>
system("cls");
that should clear your screen in windows

Nex2Null, I think he was asking about suspending tasks on the program, not clearing the screen. (And system() is used for DOS and is the equivalent of typing cls at the command prompt)

You missed something there...
Anyway, C has a function (which is obviously compatible with C++):
void sleep (unsigned int seconds)
that does just what you want. Nearly any of the standard includes should end up including it, but if necessary it can be found in dos.h.
