I wanted a timer for 20 seconds I wrote this code but it eats up lot of my CPU time...any other efficient way to handle this on windows.
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
int main()
{
clock_t start = clock();
while(clock() < (CLOCKS_PER_SEC * 20) + start)
{
//Code
}
cout << "Time's up." << endl;
return 0;
}
