Take a look at this:

Hello jamesgodspower,

After you read coder777's link it would boil down to:
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(?)); // Requires header files "chrono" and "thread"
Where the ? is the number of seconds to wait. You could change seconds to milliseconds for a more precise or shorter than a second.

Hope that helps,

Andy

To 1. if you use Windows and can't use C++11 then Sleep is an option - requires windows.h.

To 2. loop through your string and display each character separately. You need to convert numbers as string.
