The "type" effect [Noob friendly]

Alright, i know this is partial "Noobish" but, bare with me. I for one think it's a great wonder, for making cool effects

Yes i made it ;P

What it does, is use a for() loop with the end set to the total elements of the Array. It then couts the first element, which is a (A=0) A then gets incremented within the loop(by 1), until it reaches the end, which is the last string in the Array:

Code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>


using namespace std;


#define PF 12 // Definites a constant

int slow_print();

int main()
{
    
slow_print();
 
    cin.get();
    cin.ignore();
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

//FUNCTION:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
int slow_print(){
int speed; // Pause speed between the couts
string words[PF] = { //Out array which holds our message
    "H", 
    "E", 
    "L", 
    "L", 
    "O", 
    " ", 
    "W", 
    "O", 
    "R", 
    "L", 
    "D"};
int a = 0; //Will start from element 0 and increment until 0 > PF which is 12
cout << "How fast do you want the printing effect to appear?(Milliseconds): "; 
cin >> speed;  //OMG U NOT KJNOW THIS??
for (int l = 0; l < PF; l++){ //..Seriously
Sleep(speed);
cout << words[a]; // Couts the first element of the Array, which then increments to next element.
a++;
}    
};

Leave the stupid remarks out, please.

Was this really necessary?
And why don't you use a string like this.

Code:

char str[PF] = "Hello World";

And why didn't you use

Code:

const int PF = 12;

instead of:

Code:

#define PF 12

Auto Writer??

Nice one.

Not an auto writer >_< Just makes that Movie like print effect, where words are printed one at the time..Like an AI software...

that's what I meant.

#1: Because then cout would print the whole string at once.
#2: Why should he? defines are fine :3

Code:

char my_string[] = "Hello World!";
std::vector<char> my_string_container(my_string, my_string + strlen(my_string));

std::for_each(my_string_container.begin(), my_string_container.end(), [](char ch) { Sleep(speed); std::cout << ch; });

Much better than a series of string objects. This solution is elegant, concise, and uses modern C++.

Code:

#define PF 12 // Definites a constant

really now?

Comments are for explaining WHY something happens, not just explaining the line in english

Code:

int speed; // Pause speed between the couts
string words[PF] = { //Out array which holds our message
cout << words[a]; // Couts the first element of the Array, which then increments to next element.
a++;

^ Never would have guessed what these do, thanks

why the

Code:

int slow_print()

when i see no int being returned

He is calling the Sleep() function which will make it to write the words for him

Ok...Not gonna use it, but ok.

Unless people are completely retarded, they can see how it all works. It's written in human readability not in machine code. Besides, i comment what the functions/etc are for, so people know it, and can figure out the rest.

The slow_print function was something i made it to, to let me add more features, in the future

Please keep in mind, this is kind of my second time using Arrays. Thus it being a long time ago, i learned about them. I've never actually had a use of them, before now

2nd time using Arrays... ok...
