        How can I slow down text with a 2-second timing in between letters? The following will not work: #include main() { /* And yes, sleep(2); actually takes up two whole seconds for some reason */ printf("\n\nH"); sleep(2); printf("e"); sleep(2); printf("y\n\n"); sleep(2); return 0; } /* For some reason this code FIRST executes the "sleep();" functions first. It then gives the output "Hey" all in one shot four seconds later. I am using Ubuntu if that helps, but I guess everyone else is using Windows because it seems to work on their computers. */

        Try calling fflush before each sleep call; this way, the text in stdout's buffer gets pushed to the console immediately:

        printf("\n\nH");
        fflush(stdout);
        sleep(2);

        printf("e");
        fflush(stdout);
        sleep(2);

        printf("y\n\n");
        fflush(stdout);
        sleep(2);

          Hey VuNic could you tell me why this is conflicting code and give me an alternative? :rolleyes:

          std::string str = "A Good Spirit Types";
          std::string::iterator it;
          for ( it=str.begin() ; it < str.end(); it++ )
          {
          std::cout <<*it;
          Sleep(2000);
          }

          This one's okay?

            much much better :rolleyes: it would be even better if you wouldn't put that horrible using namespace std; at the beginning of your code ;P

              That's true. I avoid that too :rolleyes: It's a good practice but I don't feel it's something "horrible". ;)

                I prefer the first release. Just a note, **S**leep is not available on Linux. :)

                  Yeah even I like the first one. But Tox the tiger commands things and I end up changing to what he asks :D Tox Rox! And yes I just noticed in a Linux site, Linux sleeps a bit different with C++ there. lol ;) . gudnite!

                    I agree, that's not bad code at all. Just code. Newbies should masters such C-like constructs in order to master C++. :)
