mitchi

the delay() function is not available in gcc, are there any alternatives for me to use? I've been trying to look around for a week now, so if anyone can help me please.

thanks..

Yes, why didn't you search for it?

I now did and found it's posix.

Hi there,
if you are using linux terminal or running code on linux
you can use sleep function by this way

sleep(1); // here passing parameter determines number of seconds

for milliseconds try this
sleep(0.1);

you can use just an empty for loop
like below,
for(i=0;i<10000;i++)
{}
it will create the delay in your program

rolle

include <unistd.h>

int usleep(useconds_t usec);

Please note that the parameter is the number of microseconds to sleep
