c++ typing animation

To create a typing animation in C++, you can use the following steps:

1. Include the necessary header files:
2. iostream for input/output operations.
3. unistd.h for the sleep() function (to introduce a delay between characters).

4. string for working with strings.

5. Define a function to print characters with a delay:

6. This function will take a string as input and iterate through each character.

7. For each character, it will print it to the console using std::cout, and then introduce a delay using sleep().

8. Implement the typing animation:

9. Inside the main function, declare a string variable to hold the text that you want to animate.
10. Call the function defined in step 2, passing the string variable as an argument.

Here is an example implementation:

#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string>

void animateTyping(const std::string& text) {
    for (char c : text) {
        std::cout << c << std::flush;
        usleep(100000); // Delay of 100 milliseconds (adjust as needed)
    }
}

int main() {
    std::string textToAnimate = "Hello, World!";
    animateTyping(textToAnimate);

    return 0;
}

In this example, the animateTyping() function takes the text string as input and iterates through each character. It prints each character to the console using std::cout and then introduces a delay of 100 milliseconds using usleep().

When you run this program, it will display the text "Hello, World!" with a typing animation, where each character appears with a slight delay between them.
