Causing a delay in milliseconds
How do I cause the program to stop running for X amount of milliseconds?

Example,

for(i=1;1<10;i++){
printf("%i\n",i);
function_causes_100ms_wait;
}

Basically, I need a function that can pause the program. Couldn't find anything on Google or any books I have lying around.

What platform are you programming on? I know that Sleep(...) works on Windows platforms.

I'm sure there is a similar function for Unix, but I don't know what headers (if any) you would need to include.

If you are using unix, the function you're looking for is usleep, from unistd.h
usleep suspends execution for X microseconds.

Code:
for(i=1;1<10;i++){ 
    printf("%i\n",i); 
    usleep(100000);
}
