here is a wonderful short program to try out!
A COUNTDOWN TIMER
A countdown timer in c++
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
int m,s;
cout<<"\n\n\n\t\t\t A COUNTDOWN TIMER \n";
cout<<enter time in MINUTES here \t = \t";
cin>>m;
cout<<enter time in SECONDS here \t = \t";
cin>>s;
cout<<"\n\n\n\n\t press any key to start...!!!";
getch();
clrscr();
cout<<"\n\n\n\t\t\t A COUNTDOWN TIMER \n";
cout<<"\n\n\n\t\t TIME REMAINIG \n\n";
cout<<"\t mins: \t\t seconds: ";
for(int min=m;min>0;min--)
{
for(int sec=59;sec>=;sec--)
{
sleep(1);
cout<<"\r"<<min<<"\t"<<sec;
}
}
for(int rem=s;rem>=0;rem--)
{
cout<<"\r"<<min<<"\t"<<rem;
}
cout<<"\n\n ENDED ";
return 0;
} /* end of program */

Why are you using the C snippets for a C++ snippet? There is a difference between the two old languages.

Thanks for moving it to C++, whoever did it.

It should be int main(void) and lines 12 and 15 will cause errors due to a missing " at the beginning of the string.

This is a much better program than the one above.
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int m, s,h;
cout << "A COUNTDOWN TIMER " << endl;
cout << "enter time in hours here" << endl;
cin >> h;
cout << "enter time in minutes here " << endl;
cin >> m;
cout << "enter im in seconds here" << endl;
cin >> s;
cout << "Press any key to start" << endl;
cout << " A COUNTDOWN TIMER" << endl;
cout << "time remaining" << endl;
cout << "hours : " << h << "mins : " << m << " secs : " << s << endl;
for (int hour = h; hour >= 0; hour--)
{
for (int min = m; min >= 0 ; min--)
{
if ( min == 0 && h > 0)
m = 59;
for (int sec = s; sec >= 0; sec--)
{
if ( sec == 0 )
s = 59;
Sleep(1000);
system("cls");
cout << hour << " :hours " << min << " :mins " << sec << " :secs" << endl;
}
}
}
Sleep(1000);
cout << "THE END" << endl;

here is a wonderful short program to try out!
Which header file will I use to call the sleep function bcos I am using DEV-cpp

Here is the documentation you need for the Win32 "Sleep" function

Although an old post, your code is missing a last "}"
