How do I put a delay in my coding?

[Warrior2089]

Lets say I'm writing a program that only shows texts to the user, and requires no user input whatsoever. How would I delay it so that I can make certain text (a specified paragraph, for example) display, then wait 20 seconds before it continues with the next paragraph?

Problem solved.

Sleep(5000) for 5 second wait.

The Sleep() function accept as a parameter how many milliseconds you want your program to pause - or sleep...

If you want 20 seconds then you just use Sleep( 20000 ). You don't have to do Sleep( 5000 ) 4 times...

O_O
Oh, god.
I never thought anyone could read that like that...

[Mitsakos]

I don't know if he did read it like that, hope not, but I have seen people doing it, that's why I said that.

That is kind of really obvious, Mitsakos.

I remember there was a wait(seconds); so wait(20);

There's no such function in the standard library.
