Updating one part of the output (C++ / Cout)

[Michiel]

For completions sake:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
        for (uint i = 0; i <= 100; ++i) {
                cout << "\rProgress: " << i << "%" << flush;
                for (uint j = 0; j < 9999999; ++j); // pause
        }
 
        cout << endl;
 
        return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
        for (uint i = 0; i <= 100; ++i) {
                cout << "\rProgress: " << i << "%" << flush;
                for (uint j = 0; j < 9999999; ++j); // pause
        }

        cout << endl;

        return 0;
}

\r means carriage return. Without a \n, it just takes the cursor back to the beginning of the current line. flush flushes the buffer.
