I have a loop in my test.c who will do several things, e.g.

int main()
{
 ...do things...
     int calculate=0;
     while(x <=10000) {
      ...operation on calculate...;
      x++;
      //print calculate every 'x' seconds
    };
 return 0;
}

What I need to do is find a way to output the “calculate” variable every “x” seconds, e.g. every 5 seconds, obviously without using sleep as I need my loop continues. Could someone advise with the approach I could use?
