    A simple question

    hello
    I'm new to C++, and I've looked at some of the examples found on the cprogrammings tutorials. I have no problem understanding what they do(and have no problems with the codes in itself), but after i compiled it, i dont reach reading the last answer/message I get, cause it dissapear really fast. Do anyone know how to make the last messages, replies, last for a while so it is possible to read it?
    Answer would be appreciated
    Thanks
    Hansteen

    Have the program wait for user input at the end of the program, that way it won't close until the user types something.
    Code:
    #include <cstdio>
    
    int main ( void )
    {
      // Do stuff
      getchar();
      return 0;
    }
    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Well I guess this is the easiest way I can think of.......

    Code:
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    int main()
    {
    
    cout<<"Type a letter and the press Enter to exit"<<endl;
    int exit;
    cin>>exit;//this will pause until something is typed.
    
    return 0;
    }
    There are some real morons in this world please do not become one of them, do not become a victim of moronitis. PROGRAMMING IS THE FUTURE...THE FUTURE IS NOW!!!!!!!!!
