Sb: #C and buffers

To: all

I have a question about buffers and C that has no doubt been asked before, and
I apologize for that.  But anyways, given the following code: main()
 {
   printf("First line");
   sleep(1);
   Circle(1,100);
   sleep(1);
 } Why does the system sleep for 1 Second, draw the Circle, sleep another
second, and THEN print "First line" right before exiting?  I gather that it
must have something to do with buffered output since if I tack a \n after
'line' things work as expected, but how can I get the code above to work the
way it would intuitively seem to?  I noticed that I could use write and it
worked alright (perhaps), except I still wouldn't know how to print formatted
output this way.
  I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has even the slightest idea on what
exactly is going on.
