what compiler are you using?
check the sleep function from the unistd.h library if your using linux or windows.h for windows

[tanvir.firuz]

its for the compiler C and operating system is Windows.

Try something like this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

const int DELAY_IN_MICROSECONDS = 100;

int main (void)
{
    char symbol = 'a';

    while (1)
    {
        putchar(symbol++);

        if (symbol > 'z')
        {
           symbol = 'a';
           putchar('\n');
        }

        fflush(stdout);
        Sleep(DELAY_IN_MICROSECONDS);
    }

    return 0;
}

More information about Windows' Sleep function here: MSDN

const int DELAY_IN_MICROSECONDS = 100;
Sleep(DELAY_IN_MICROSECONDS);

Sleep() takes a parameter that represents milliseconds, not microseconds. I just wanted to point that out in case readers don't study the documentation you linked to closely enough, and then find Sleep() doesn't have the granularity they want.

Woops yeah, meant to type milliseconds. Thanks for the heads up.
