ive been writing a c++ program to make a quiz but i couldn't figure out about how u can put a timer.
the timer should actually countdown from 20 to 1 and once the time is over it has 2 move on to the next question and no points should b given 4 that question.
can someone write out a code and explain the logic to me.
p.s in the code please include a question
Jump to Postyou have to put the timer code in a second thread then when someone types something in thread1 kill the timer thread. How to construct new threads depends on the operating system.

Not for this purpose because you can't get keyboard input while that wait function is working.
There is a way to do it with non-standard c functions from conio.h, but they are generally discouraged because most compilers don't implement them.
