counting milliseconds in C or C++

[nightrider2007]

Hi all

I want to count milliseconds in c or C++.
I know that its possible to count second. In some places I found that people divide second by 1000. But i think that is not the exact solution.

please me.

Yes, it's not really millisecond resolution to divide by 1000.

Your operating system usually provides some timer library support. For instance, if you're working on linux you can use clock_gettime() and related functions to get better resolution timing (see 'man clock_gettime') .

Hi thanks a lot for your reply.

Actually, my platform is windows XP. Do you have any suggestion for it?
