cmd gets killed.

girishkaitholil · 02-06-2010, 03:30 AM

Hey,

I am new to programming. I am trying to learn programming myself. I just set up everything using the c for dummies book and created the first goodbye program as described it it. It compiled well without any problems. DONE was the result. Now when i run the program the cmd gets killed. It doesnt even take one second on screen to get killed. I know my program is running well but cmd gets killed or just flashes out. Please advice.

Hey,

I assume you're working on a Windows box?

Please read this FAQ entry: Cprogramming.com FAQ > Stop my Windows Console from disappearing everytime I run my program?

I'm new to programming to but I think your writing a console app and the reason the program just flashes is because you have to put something in the code to keep the window open like scanf() function unless I'm totally wrong

Hey, Thank you very much.. It helped me a lot. and i have edited the c program found there to my convenience.. This is my first day of programming. And I am successful. I made it like after executing the program just a enter stroke is required to kill the cmd. I am so fascinated, Hooray, I am coding well. am I right... ! he he..

Thank you once again and the code edited by me goes like this..

insert

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void myflush ( FILE *in )
{
  int ch;

  do
    ch = fgetc ( in ); 
  while ( ch != EOF && ch != '\n' ); 

  clearerr ( in );
}

void mypause ( void ) 
{ 
  printf ( "Press [Enter] to continue . . ." );
  fflush ( stdout );
  getchar();
} 

int main ( void )
{
  int number;

  // Test with an empty stream
  printf ( "Hello, world!\n" );
  mypause();

}
