Using setInterval() in C++

Question

In JavaScript, there is a function called setInterval(). Can it be achieved in C++? If a loop is used, the program does not continue but keeps calling the function.

Answer 1

Use std::thread to achieve.

//  should have been included
void setInterval(auto function,int interval) {
    thread th([&]() {
        while(true) {
            Sleep(interval);
            function();
        }
    });
    th.detach();
}
//...
setInterval([]() {
    cout<<"1 sec past\n";
},
1000);
