How can I add a time delay before the exit command in C/C++?

[Akshay_Anti]

Hello! I was writing a basic program and was wondering about this problem:-

when i give exit(0); the compiler exits as soon as that part of code is reached. Is there any piece of code such that after it reaches that part of code, it waits for some time before executing exit command? This can be used in case when upon exit, a message is to be displayed.

Thank you in advance

there should be a sleep command that you can invoke.

In your program you could include code just before the exit(0) to display a message to indicate the user should press the enter key, then wait for user input.
