[Solved] What is delay() in C? Is it a system function?

Question

The book you are reading is crap. Avoid the book and tell others to do the same.

<conio.h> is a system-specific header and not guaranteed to be available on many platforms.
The result of fgetc must never be stored in a char variable.
The function feof must never be used in a loop condition.

The book probably comes from the 1980s or early 1990s. There is a function delay in Turbo Pascal that takes milliseconds. Maybe that’s the one the author means.
