You have two options.
You can use the <time.h> file.
Or Sleep from <windows.h>
Although, you haven't told us how you're handling the GUI...

>i like to dispaly timer constantly in the same place
If you're using windows, you have to clear the screen to give the illusion of a constantly updating timer.
I assume you're doing this from a console window... although you haven't said. And you haven't told us which operating system you are using, so I'm assuming you're using windows.
>tell me what functions display timers like i have to start timer when the game starts and end it when it ends.
I would rather use the Sleep function than the stuff from <time.h>...
When you eventually decide to answer these questions...
How are you handling the GUI components of the game?
1. Use a rather hackish console display with <windows.h> commands
2. Use win32 -yuck
3. Use mfc - yucky
4. Use C# - yay.
What operating system are you using?
Then I can proceed to try answer your questions more specifically.

Adv - Simple, use C++
Disadv - Ugly
2. Use win32 -yuck ( for newbies perhaps )
Adv - faster, smaller executable, better control of the program, use C++
Disadv - difficult if you don't have the guts and time
3. Use mfc
Adv - Easier than using Win32 API, same look and feel, use C++, a lot of examples in the internet especially www.codeproject.com
Disadv - A slightly larger executable, less control on the program
4. Use Managed C++
Adv - Easier than using Win32 API and perhaps MFC, same look and feel, use C++
Disadv - Don't know much about this, but less number of examples in the net.
5. Use C# -
Adv - None that I can think of but Iamthwee is welcome to disagree ;)
Disadv - Learn C#, port your C++ program to C#... バルサミコ酢やっぱいらへんで
Hey Fellas,
I was wondering if I could write a simple code that erases the input display information once a user enters it. For example, I was going to write a simple program that asks for the user's name and then have the trailing display information erased from the program. Here's the code that I wrote:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
char name [10];
cout << "May I have your name please?" << endl;
cin >> name;
cin.ignore();
cout << "Hey, " << name;
cin.get();
return 0;
}
When the user enters their information their screen would look like this:
May I have your name please? You
Hey, You
....so my question basically is how do I get rid of "May I have your name please?" so that it looks like this on their screen:
Hey, You

You need to clear da screen... Tee he he. So you're using a console based GUI then?

Check this exampleby Dave Sinkula. It is fairly simple. If you want a more complicated one, there is an example by me in the same thread. But I think Dave's example will do.
Edit: Looks like Dave's example will work only for overwriting the same line. Not sure though. You can find out yourself. If that is the case, maybe my example will be the only way.
