Text Color and Sleep in Dev C++

 A simple program to demonstrate how to use text color and sleep in Dev C++. I hope you will find my work useful.

Machine Problem in C++

Create a program that will print your  name “Jake” with a delay of 1 second. 

Color should be in alternate. (blue,red,green and yellow) using Dev C++.

blue – 1

red – 4

green – 2
