Question

Can you solve this C program by using Function?

Q1. Write a C program to ring the computer bell at any number of times you specify. Use the system clock as a delay, you need to include the time header file.

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

void ring_bell(int n , int sec){ 

    // n= no. of times bell will ring 
    //sec= delay in seconds between each ring
    
    int miliseconds=1000 * sec;
    // convert seconds to miliseconds
    
    for(int i=1;i<=n;i++){
        
        clock_t ct=clock();
        //clock() method Returns the processor clock time used since the beginning of an implementation, clock_t is the return type of clock() method
        
        printf("\a");
        // \a escape sequence rings the computer bell
        
        while(clock() < ct + miliseconds);
        //this is adding the delay between each ring 
        //looping at one place until some specified time is passed
    }
}

int main() {
    ring_bell(10,2); // function call 10 rings with 2 sec delay
    return 0;
}
