Ever wondered how to create a progress monitor in your C/C++ program??

Here's a small program that shows you how:

# include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void goback();

int main()
{

    // *** CLEAR THE SCREEN ***//
    // method 1
    //printf("%c%c%c%c%c%c",27,'[','H',27,'[','J' );

    // method 2
    printf("\e[H\e[J");

    // *** Rotating Progress Monitor ***//
    while(1)
    {
        printf("|");
        goback();
        printf("\\");
        goback();
        printf("-");
        goback();
        printf("/");
        goback();
    }

}

void goback()
{
    // makes cursor go back one character
    printf("\e[D");
}
