this is a console application, I made a counter that goes up in increments of slightly under a second,the number it counts to is user defined. instead of explaing it im just gonna copy the output Code: enter a time to count to (NON ZERO!): 7 Current Number: 1, counting is 14% done! Current Number: 2, counting is 28% done! Current Number: 3, counting is 42% done! Current Number: 4, counting is 57% done! Current Number: 5, counting is 71% done! Current Number: 6, counting is 85% done! Current Number: 7, counting is 100% done! COUNTING FINISHED the only reason I like this more than the other simple applications I made is because I only used the header stdio.h, I wanted to see if it was possible without windows.h or time.h here is how I did it... Code: #include <stdio.h> int wait() { int n = 0; while (1) { int counter = n / 10000; ++n; if(counter == 8000) break; } } int percent(int a, int b) { int p = (a * 100) / b; return (p); } void clear() { for(int c; c < 20; c++) { printf("\n"); } } int main() { int w; int i; printf("enter a time to count to (NON ZERO!): "); scanf("%d", &w); for(i = 1; i != (w + 1); i++) { wait(); printf("\nCurrent Number: %d, counting is %d%% done!\n",i , percent(i, w)); } printf("\nCOUNTING FINISHED"); fflush(stdin); getchar(); } the void clear() was to clear the screen without using system("cls"); but it looked bad so I didnt use it, I forgot to take it out I wanted to make this as portable as possible so I could maby port it to my psp once I can make an on screen keyboard for it. ps. im only 14 years old and i did not take this code from anybody, I made it ( not too impressive though)
i dunno if its good for c++ or not as i don't know the code, but if you are just starting it looks like a solid program. keep working at it, and one day you will be making alot of money!
