    Question Problem with windows console when running.

    I noticed this when I first started making programs. I forgot what the code was to make the windows console wait for you to press any key before it exits. When I ran my first program, Hello World, it happened so fast I didnt even get to see it. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't know exactly what to look for or how to go about looking for it.

    Any suggestions?

    There are several options, and everyone will have a personal preference. There are many threads that the different ways have been debated in, if your interested in expanding your knowledge on the different methods used just follow that search and read around.

    Check the faq here:

    System("Pause") is not considered a very good method.

    Which would be why i told him to read around.....

    For what he is doing pause will work fine.
