1 second delay

[NightSt@lker]

how do i do a 1 second delay between perofming commands?

[NightSt@lker]

when i use it within a loop, it waits for 1second * number of times to loop iterates and then it prints out all the numbers at once.

I was writing a test program (countdown clock) so the loop is a s such

for(int a=10;a>=0;a--)
{
cout<<a<<endl;
Sleep(1000);
}

You can't directly output a number using "cout". You'll have to convert it to a char first.
Try this:

char buffer[10];
for(int a=10;a>=0;a--)
{
itoa(a, buffer,10);
cout<<buffer<<endl;
Sleep(1000);
}

That's not true. You can output numbers with cout.

You can output anything with cout as long as it overloads the "<<" operator.

Ahhh, never tried and knew that. I have always converted a number to a string before outputting it using cout...Now I know... That's kind of the whole POINT of the streams using the << operator ;)

Now you know why I love stringstreams :p
