    dos closes right away after executing

    program runs when i run through compiler & also when I run it from a DOS window.
    But when I go to run the .exe from the Debug folder (is this where you generate the .exe btw), it opens DOS & closes right away.!

    Pls help ASAP.. Thanks!

    Solution

    There are 2 ways to fix it 1. you use Ms Dos Prompt or you can add this to your program you need to #include <stdlib.h> and just before the end of the program add system("PAUSE");
    This'll pause the program.

    you could also use the getch() fuction in conio.h as the last line of the code.
