Hello,
I'm new to C++ and Bloodshed. I've copied a code directly from my book and have had it compile, but when I try to run it a black screen pops up for a millisecond then disappears, has anyone had this problem? Thank you
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout<<"My first C++ Program!"<< endl; cout<<"The sum of 2 and 3 = "<< 5 << endl; cout<<"7 + 8 = " << 7 + 8 << endl; return 0; }
Yup, plenty of people have. http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385
Basically, just before the return 0, add this line:
That should do for now.Code:cin.get();

Beautiful!...Thank you!
Since you're compiling a command line program, maybe try running it from an actual command line. Go to Start -> Run and run "cmd.exe". From there "cd" to the directory where you executable lives, and run it by name. The window stays open
On UNIX we're used to these "console" things.
Aside from cin.get() and the less convenient command prompt thing, there's also two other ways:
- Get an IDE that can force the prompt to remain open after the program ends (Visual Studio and Code::Blocks are two that can do this, as I'm aware).
- Use a debugger and put a breakpoint at the end of main (works beautifully in Visual Studio for one).
