Using a timer in C++

Question

I've searched over the internet for a function that can "hold" my program..

I've seen the function sleep(), though it does not work for me, saying it is undeclared.. (I have included stdlib.h/time.h/iostream)

I do not have parrel stuff that are working in the side, so even if I stop the whole program, that's okay..

for example :

sleep(3000) cout << "Hello World";

Thanks!

If you are using c++11 you have a portable way to suspend your thread: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/sleep_for

I forgot to mention I have included windows.h too, though it still says it is undeclared.. – AmitM9S6 Dec 12 '12 at 10:16

try this.

usleep(microseconds)

1000 microseconds in a millisecond

You may need to: #include <unistd.h>
