<div>
You want a delay of 1 minute ?<br />
<br />
You can use the standard library for that, something like below (note that it's a busy wait, so likely not the preferred way to do it).<br />
<br />
Or you can use platform dependent functionality, like sleep or usleep (Linux), Sleep (Windows), ...<br />
What platform are you on ?<br />

<pre><code id="code-171115">time_t tstart = time(0);
time_t tend = time(0);
while (difftime(tend, tstart) &lt; 60.0f) {   // &lt;--- one minute
  // busy wait
}
</code></pre>

I want to implement an F*S*M &nbsp;and when a &quot;job&quot; is at one state for some time ,for example 1 min and then go to other state.The problem is that i don't know how to implement the time(clock) of this &nbsp;system.

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
