I have this little programm here, it supposed to write "second" everysecond on the screen, but it doesn''t, so what do i wrong? #include #include bool done=true; void main() { time_t CompareTime; const NumberOfSecondsBetween = 1; // time(&CompareTime); // do { if (time(NULL) >= CompareTime + NumberOfSecondsBetween) { cout << "second "; time(&CompareTime); }; } while(done); };

includes are iostream.h and time.h, wish i knew how to write those code pages on the forums....

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
long target_time, wait_time = 1;
for(int i = 0;i < 10; i++)
{
target_time = time(NULL) + wait_time;
while(time(NULL) < target_time)
{
//do nothing until wait_time has passed
}
cout << "second ";
}
return 0;
}

wow, non-sloppy code. i should do that more often

You mean like :

  cout << "test stuff" << endl;  

????

Just do an edit of this note.

i wrote this code:

  #include <iostream.h>#include <time.h>int main(int argc, char *argv[]){long target_time, wait_time = 1;for(int i = 0;i < 10; i++){target_time = time(NULL) + wait_time;while(time(NULL) < target_time){//do nothing until wait_time has passed}cout << "second ";}return 0;}  

but it doesn''t print anything
(its a win32 console application
