delay without blocking

To implement a delay without blocking in C++, you can use the sleep() function from the <unistd.h> library. This function suspends the execution of the program for a specified number of seconds.

Here are the steps to implement a delay without blocking in C++:

1. Include the necessary header file: cpp #include <unistd.h>

2. Call the sleep() function with the desired delay in seconds: cpp sleep(5); // Delay the program execution for 5 seconds

In this example, the program will pause for 5 seconds before continuing with the next line of code.

1. Continue with the rest of your code: cpp // Code after the delay

After the delay, the program will resume execution from this point.

That's it! By using the sleep() function, you can introduce a delay in your C++ program without blocking its execution.
