How to "pause" a program for a certain number of seconds

[Warrior2089]

I know there is some way to pause for a few seconds that measures in miliseconds, something like something("5000"); for 5 seconds. What's the function I'm looking for?

I found it. It's

Sleep(5000);

for 5 seconds. Thanks though!

Keep in mind that that is Windows-specific. If you plan to run your code on Linux or some other platform that part will have to change.
