Pushing enter exits the Program...

Hello I am a newbie & I know you people have better things to do then help me but I would really like it if someone can help me with this problem.

I read a program that looks that the one bellow. It works but when I add my age & press enter the program exits. Is there a code that I can add so that the program only exits when I type "exit" or any key word that I choose?

Code:

#include <iostream.h>			
int main()				//Most important part of the program!
{
  int age;				//Need a variable...
  cout<<"Please input your age: ";	//Asks for age
  cin>>age;				//The input is put in age
  if(age<100)				//If the age is less than 100
  {
     cout<<"You are pretty young!";     //Just to show it works
  }
  else if(age==100)		//I use else just to show an example 
  {
     cout<<"You are old";		//Just to show you it works...
  }
  else
  {
    cout<<"You are really old";	//Executed if no other statement is executed
  }
  return 0;
}

You can download the code at the Attach file:

Read the faq.
There should be something there that shows you how to pause your program before it finishes.

I read a program that looks that the one bellow. It works but when I add my age & press enter the program exits. Is there a code that I can add so that the program only exits when I type "exit" or any key word that I choose?

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    string str;
    cin >> str;
    while(str != "exit")
    {
        // Your code, making sure to ask the user for another value of str.
    }
     return 0;
}

If you just want to pause it so you can see the output:

#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

... and ...

system("pause");

... which is in the faq by the way.

I know how to pause the Program using the "cin.get();" command but that is not my problem...
The Problem is when I try to input my age in the program when I press enter the program exits...

Try using 2 cin.get() statements. If it works, then it means that there was something left in the input buffer, probably from the enter key. Now search the board for how to flush the input buffer.

The Problem is when I try to input my age in the program when I press enter the program exits...

It just appears that way. It prints out the result very fast before it exits. Just add the system("pause") before return 0 and see it for yourself.

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std ;

int main()				//Most important part of the program!
{
  int age;				//Need a variable...
  
  cout<<"Please input your age: ";	//Asks for age
  
  cin >> age;				//The input is put in age
  
  if(age<100)				//If the age is less than 100
  {
     cout<<"You are pretty young!";     //Just to show it works
  }
  else if(age==100)		//I use else just to show an example
  {
     cout<<"You are old";		//Just to show you it works...
  }
  else
  {
    cout<<"You are really old";	//Executed if no other statement is executed
  }
  system("pause") ;
  return 0;
}

Thank you so much!
