Making C++ pause

Question

Is there a C++ equivalent to Python's time.sleep()?

Answer 1

Use boost::this_thread::sleep

// sleep for 5 seconds
boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::seconds(5)); 

Answer 2

The following code will sleep for 10 milliseconds.

boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(10))

Refer to boost::posix_time::time_duration for more ways to construct the duration.
