New to C++, probably an easy question.
Hi,
Sorry for the bad thread name, I couldnt think what to put :D
I only started programming in C++ today, so please point out anything which I am doing wrong - I don't want to get bad habits this early on :)
I have made this program, which asks you for a number, then adds 5 to it and displays the result. Then waits for keypress before terminating:
Code:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main ()
{
int a;
int result;
int numtoadd;
cout << "Number to add 5 to\n";
cin >> numtoadd;
a = 5;
result = numtoadd + a;
cout << result;
cout << "\nThat is the answer to " << numtoadd << " plus 5\n\n";
cout << "Press any key to continue...\n";
getch();
cout<<"A key was pressed... exiting the program";
return 0;
}
The problem I have is, the program seems to wait for keypress before it displays the result and the following text. Could anyone please point out where I have gone wrong?
Thanks very much for any help :)
