#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main(void)
{
   
    printf("lol\n");
    delay(2000);
    printf("Why isnt this working?!");
   
}
   

whats wrong with this?

I think i missed an #include but i dont know which one . The delay seems to be the problem...

windows.h ?

i duno, that seems to be in every c code i see

problem with delay being no such function exists?

i remember when using turbo ++ delay did exist.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
   
    printf("lol\n");
    sleep(2000);
    printf("Why isnt this working?!");
   
}

That is, if sleep() is in stdlib.h.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
   
    printf("lol\n");
    sleep(2000);
    printf("Why isnt this working?!");
   
}
   
Still not working :/ sleep isnt correct :/

edit: im useing dev-c++

since i cant get turbo c++ to install >.>

google says to either try includeing windows.h or unistd.h

>.> im using dev-C++ maybe it doesnt work with this i dont know ...

I need to get another program the one i use at school... fuck thanks anyways guys, nothing worked.

I think the function you are looking for is named Sleep() with a capital S in MinGW library, and declared in windows.h -- try this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main(void)
{
   
    printf("lol\n");
    Sleep(2000);
    printf("Why isnt this working?!");
   
}

I don't see anything here that would require inclusion of conio.h, as you seem to like to do.

The problem is some compilers are different. At the end on the main function try adding this. For me the window opens and closes, so I think the basic solution would be adding this:

cin.get();

Edit: Using <windows> would be useless and just add to the filesize as the program is using nothing from the Windows API

And when i used turbo c ++ there was a command called gotoxy() where moves your pointer to the following coordinates, like gotoxy(5,30). and its not working, maybe i should just use turbo c

No it wouldn't, as the linker will just chuck away anything that isn't used.

If you wish to use the Windows Sleep function, yes. However, I believe the standard C library has a sleep() too, in unistd.h.

I think im going to just use the program that our school uses.
Turbo c/c++

since then i wont have any trouble. Thanks a lot guys

It is pretty bad, a simple Hello World program seems to turn into 1MB in size, I need to fix it ASAP, it has only recently happened

Thanks LOADS! !

code:

#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
gotoxy(10,10);
printf("Starts on location 10,10.\n");

return 0;
}

Gah i always thought "C" was a scripting language that is the same with every program wtfux...
