Hi all
I want to print "Hello" and "World" with delay.
But when I start the program it first executes the "sleep" command,and after that prints on screen all the text,why? in my code the "sleep" command is not in the beggining,but in the middle..

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>


int main()

{
cout<< "Hello \n";
Sleep(1000);
cout<<"World! \n";
return 0;
}

Notice there is no space between the cout<<"World!

You might want to fix that.

That doesn't matter, C++ *generally* isn't space sensitive. The compiler strips out all the whitespace that isn't between quotes when it goes to compile.

marsianche: What compiler are you using? Everything compiles and works fine for me in dev c++.

Are you sure its not working correctly though? That number you run through Sleep() is milliseconds, so its only going to pause for 1 second.

I compiled and ran your program, as is, and it worked fine, used Dev C++ on Windows XP. What did you use to compile and run it (os and compiler)?

Well I,m using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, and until now i had not any problems with it.. (and Windows XP)

Your code is ugly but it should work exactly as you wrote it. Your program is doing exactly as it's told. If you had actually taken the time to step through your program in a debugger, you'd find that your text actually *is* being sent before Sleep() is called. If you'd done a little more googling, you'd find out exactly what your problem is. Maybe you could look at some other code samples and see the differences? I know exactly why your program isn't doing what you want, but if I just tell you then you won't learn a thing! Do some research and post back here if you still need help.

PS: iostream.h was deprecated a *long* time ago -- start using iostream and start programming in C++

OK i am new a noob i just downloaded dev c++ and i defenetly wanna learn i was trying stuff and got ur code to work btw i added so the color will be red on the cmd

i modified your code a little bit, and it works for me.
