The code will pause the program for as long as you want. To change the amount of time every loop takes you would change the # in the parenthesis after Sleep. NOTE: it is measured in miliseconds(1000 milliseconds per second). To change the amount of loops therefore the amount of periods change the # ten to whatever you want.
NOTE: you have to include the header <windows.h>.
NOTE: the 's' in sleep is in caps

Code: Select all

void end()
{
   

   for(int p = 0; p < 10; p++)
   {
      Sleep(500);
      cout << ".";
   }
}

You can alos do this, which I believe is standard by using:

Code: Select all

_sleep(3000);



This I think comes under iostream.

Note: A compilier will flag this as a warning, saying it is deprecated.
A big word? I though so I looked it up it means not used anymore, discouraged.

There is also a method for Linux, which I can't remember quite now.
Don't ask about Macs, never used them, they look good, but too expensive, which is why I will probably use one.

Just Google it or find it here!
