i know thats c# but it uses a api from c++ which is GetTickCount
Code:
class AW
{
[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
static extern int GetTickCount();
static void Main()
{
int timer;
int interval = 20;
int start = GetTickCount();
for (timer = 0; timer < 5000; timer += interval)
{
Console.WriteLine("sum1337text");
Thread.Sleep(interval);
}
int end = GetTickCount();
}
so i didnt got it how this gettickcount works can someone show me how i can replace the sleep with it?
"Retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started, up to 49.7 days"
So it's quite simple;
Code:
int tickStart = GetTickCount(); // Right now.
int tickEnd = tickStart + 5000; // 5 seconds into the future
while(GetTickCount() < tickEnd)
{
// Do nothing, although it's better to Sleep(0) in here to not waste CPU time.
}
MessageBox.Show("Hurraiiii, 5 seconds have passed.");

Overall, GetTickCount is used to count how many milliseconds have passed since the system was started. What Hell_Demon did for you is clean up your code.
First , he declared 2 variables: tickStart and tickEnd.
-Basically, a point where the timer starts and ends.
-He set the timer to 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds).
Second, he made a very simple statement: "Do the following if it has been less than 5 seconds." 'while(GetTickCount() < tickEnd)'
-Once the 5 seconds are reached, end the timer (tickEnd) and display a message (MessageBox.Show("Hurraiiii, 5 seconds have passed."))
Your code was a bit messy because you added an unnecessary timer (GetTickCount already calculates the time for you) and had an overall logical error.
Also (I am not 100% sure), 'int end = GetTickCount();' will cause an unintended (I am assuming you did not want this to happen) loop/error, since you are telling the computer to calculate the time once again.

I got it but seems that doesnt worth using it in c# since its slower than sleep, but in c++ its fine
Or simply use Environment.TickCount

which is pretty much the same as
Code:
static int TickCount
{
get
{
return GetTickCount();
}
}
