is there a function in C which allow you to specifiy the time you would like the program to wait.
ive tryed
CODE
wait(10);
but it dosnt seem to work
i would like it in an enviroment such as
CODE

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
      printf("input 1");
      wait(1000);
      printf("input 2");
}
if anyones got any ideas i would be most grateful. cheers.

Sleep(100);

That waits for 100 milli seconds.
You need to include the header windows.h in order to work.
