need Dev C++ help
ok, when I compile a program with Dev C++ it saves an executable in the folder where the source file is. When I run the program it allows you to enter the input but after it calculates the output it closes immediately. Is there a way to view the output and keep the window open. Any help would be appreciated. My computer has windows 98SE.
In some compilers adding a return statement at the end of the main() usually does the trick.
But if that doesn't work, open a MS-DOS window ( a command prompt ) and run you exe from there. This won't dissappear from your screen for sure.
Cheers.
1 rule of the Samurai Code: if you have nothing to say, don't say anything at all!
the simplest thing to do (requires no headers other than iostream, which you have anyway if you are outputting to screen), is
int main() {
// code
char wait; cin >> wait;
return 0;
}
It will wait until you press enter before closing
this is what worked:
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
this waits until you press any key before closing the program. Thanks for your help.
