I need to help: C or plus

[MaDHaVoK]

I am trying to get a loop to execute every .1 seconds so I can make a timer... I cannot find anything on the web........

 

[MaDHaVoK]

forgot... I am trying to write this in C but I could pull off C++ if I had to....


Is any of this good?
nanosleep?
clk_tck?
clock()

ARG

Thanks

Sleep(n);
will make your loop pause for a specified number of time. where n is the number in ms (for .1 second, n=100).

be sure to #include <windows.h>

Thanks.. sleep(1); actually delays for 1 second and sleep(.1) delays for 1/100 of a second! I don't get it!!

doesnt sleep take milliseconds?

(n) is milliseconds. There are 1000 milliseconds in a second.

Therefore to pause for 1 second: sleep(1000)
To pause for .1 second : sleep(100)
To pause for .332 second: sleep(332)
etc...
