I searched the forum and help, and couldn't find anything specific enough, that is why I made this thread. So I am currently using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 as my preferred compiler. I was reading the beginner section of this website and was reading this code:
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int thisisanumber;
cout<<"Please enter a number: ";
cin>> thisisanumber;
cin.ignore();
cout<<"You entered: "<< thisisanumber <<"\n";
cin.get();
}
So, I changed a few things:
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char word;
cout<<"Please type a word and I will show it back to you:";
cin>> word;
cin.ignore();
cout<<"You entered: "<< word <<"\n";
cin.ignore();
cin.get();
}
The problem with my code is that I can type in a word but, when I hit enter, it displays the word for a brief flash and then the Dos box closes. If anyone can point me in the right direction with a link or advice, that would be much appreciated. By the way, I am completely new to programming and this website.
