C++ password

[ploutarchos]

ok..... iam working on password protection for my program but i have some little problems here...

here is my code:::::



[cpp]cout << "PASSWORD: ";
getline (cin,password);
if (password == "my pass")
{
menu();
cout << "Your Choice: ";
cin >> chose;

if (chose == '1')
{
menu2();
}
else

if (chose == '2')

menu3();
}
else
for (i=0; i<=5; i++)
{
cout<<"WRONG PASSWORD!!"<<endl;
cout<<"This Program Exiting in "<<sec--<<" seconds...";
Sleep(5000);
}

char cChar;
std::cin.get(cChar);
return 0;
} [/cpp]


I want after 5 seconds program exit.... and didn't write all the word just the time -1 ....

I'm no C++ expert, but isn't the Sleep procedure based on the system clock? Won't that mean different times for different systems?

Can't remember exactly about the sleep procedure, but most programming languages take time in ms as parameter, so 5000 would be about 5 seconds (yes can vary a bit).

Can you describe in your own words how you want the soft to behave? And if you can indent the code it would also help.

Dude u can use delay function to do this
here's the following code for this instead of sleep:
//header file is <process.h> for exit(0) to close program

delay(5000);
exit(0);
