does anyone know how to fix this?..it’s a Rock Paper Scissors game that I made…by the way…im using windows…and I’m using sublime text 3 to compile it…

EDIT : it is solved by adding #include <windows.h> and capitalizing the “s” in “sleep”

I’d say you’re getting that error message becuase ‘sleep’ isn’t declared in that scope.

You’re welcome.

It compiles and runs fine for me:

tmartin:dart:~> gcc rps.c -o rps
tmartin:dart:~> rps

                        ROCK PAPER SCISSORS GAME

Enter a number (0 for Rock, 1 for Paper, 2 for Scissors): 0

                        You've chosen Rock

                        COMP have chosen 0

                              DRAW!!tmartin:dart:~>

Compiling with gcc -Wall rps.c -o rps throws a warning because you’ve specified that main returns an integer but you don’t have a return value at the end, but that’s neither here nor there.

Based on your error message I would assume that your compiler needs more than just including time.h in order to get the time function. You don’t mention what compiler you’re using though, so I can’t say for sure.

I’m guessing you finally broke down and typed “where is sleep declared” into google and clicked the first result:

Amiright?
