You can use the sleep function. It will delay execution for a given amount of time. Here and here you have some more resources and examples.

Took the example from Mr. Anon in the first SO link I posted (specific to Windows):

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf( "starting to sleep...\n" );
    Sleep( 3000 );   // sleep three seconds
    printf( "sleep ended\n" );
}

Indication is to watch out for the uppercase S.

Good luck!
