Sleep（4000）显示。 每1000（C ++）

Question

Note I am a beginner.

What I am trying to do is display a "." for each 1000 seconds in the timer. I would like the "." to be displayed next following the cout.

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>


using namespace std;

int main()

{

    char uname;
    char pword;

    cout << "Initializing EKG";
    Sleep(4000);
      /* while/for Sleep(1000) cout << "."
         while Sleep(1000*2) cout << "."
      */
     //Something along those lines I am trying to achieve. 
     //Can't I use a ++ or something similar to increase the . to .. to ... to ....? 

    return 0;

}

You can use a simple for loop to do this.

for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
      Sleep(1000);
      cout << ".";
}
