**C++ DOES NOT COMPUTE**

C++ is NOT a scripting language. It is compiled and linked into machine code (executable).

Also... you cannot accurately predict "10 Seconds" using a while loop and a randomly chosen "big ass number" to crunch through.

I recommend throwing out the while loop idea and just using : Sleep(10000); //10k miliseconds = 10 seconds)

then putting your message code underneath.

Why are you doing this anyways? If its for a course... i recommend you actually learn how to do this.

Actually no, Its an internet quiz you go all over the internet finding number IPS, codes, games, I'm on step 113

deadly4you's code would work the best if you need to compile it, otherwise if you just needed the code you can get more accurate with the timer for Allegro (a low level game routine library).

But here's the source you'd need to get his to work:

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h> // I think you need this, may not for the sleep function

int main()
{
int Seconds = 10;

while(Seconds < 0)
{
Sleep(1000); // sleep for one second
Seconds--; // take a second off the counter
}
printf("Hello World! \n");

return 0;
}

alternatively to printf is [cout << "Hello World!" << endl;]

Thank you so much man!
