Window Wont Stay Open

I use the latest version of Dev C++, with the following code:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
    char response[25];
    cout << "Hello World";
    cin >> response;
    cout << "Oh thats nice";
    return 0;
}

---

And when this executes it'll wait for my input and then immediatly close, without displaying "Oh thats nice". How do I stop the window from closing?

Hello wes welcome to the boards heres a link that will answer all your questions
http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385

:D I can't believe I missed that in the FAQ!

Well, this does the same thing, and it exits early:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
  int ch;
  char response[25];
  cout << "What's up?";
  cin >> response;
  cout << "That's cool...";
  printf ("Press [Enter] to continue");
  while ((ch = getchar()) != '\n' && ch != EOF);
  return(0);
}

What's wrong? Thanks for the help :)

Because your cin is leaving a newline in the input stream btw: i would use this instead considering your using c++ :)

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;

int main(void)
{
  char response[25];
  cout << "What's up?";
  cin >> response;
  cout << "That's cool...";
  cin.ignore(80,'\n');//so that it will stop at the end of the program
  cout<<"Press [Enter] to continue";
  cin.get();//this will wait for a key press
  return 0;
}

I'm such a newbie :p

Thanks guys.
