Can someone tell me what do I need to do (not to write me code, just tell me) to make C++ doing 2 things simultaneously?
Let's say that I have some timer and some text. That text moves every 0.5 seconds to the right and times updates every 1 second.
How can I make that ? Don't write me code, as I said, just tell me are there some useful functions. If I am unclear, I will delete this question so it's downovoted (tell me please :). Thank you!
One way to do multiple things at the same time in a C++ program is to use threads. That a look at std::thread
for more information.
The point being that the threads run independently of one another and can perform completely separate tasks at the same time.
The advantage of using std::thread
is that it's portable, so your code is no longer dependent on what operating system you're using.
