how to delay text in c++ console app

#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <thread>

int main() {
    std::cout << "This is some text." << std::endl;

    // Delay for 2 seconds
    std::chrono::seconds duration(2);
    std::this_thread::sleep_for(duration);

    std::cout << "Delayed text after 2 seconds." << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Explanation:

1. #include <iostream>: Includes the input/output stream header file, allowing for input and output operations.

2. #include <chrono>: Includes the header file for handling time durations.

3. #include <thread>: Includes the header file for multi-threading support.

4. int main() { ... }: The main function where the program execution starts.

5. std::cout << "This is some text." << std::endl;: Prints the text "This is some text." to the console.

6. std::chrono::seconds duration(2);: Creates a duration of 2 seconds using the std::chrono library.

7. std::this_thread::sleep_for(duration);: Pauses the execution of the program for the specified duration (2 seconds in this case), causing a delay.

8. std::cout << "Delayed text after 2 seconds." << std::endl;: Prints the text "Delayed text after 2 seconds." to the console after the delay.

9. return 0;: Indicates successful program execution and exits the main function.
