Newbie problem with console!

Hey, everyone that can help I appreciate it.
Every program I write no matter how simple the
Console box when you printf only stays on my monitor
for a second no matter what I do what can I do to make it stop
so I can see it for more than 1 second? :confused:

go here, there's the programming FAQ that's very helpful
http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385
and try here
http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385
and then of course tutorials

enter cin.get or getch() before return zero to wait a key press, this pauses the output so you can see the results of the program. But look at the FAQ board first mind - pete

Code:

---

    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;

---

at the end of the main function.

On second though, no. Don't do this. Use cin.get() and keep your code standard like the rest of the world.

standard

Ah, that word :rolleyes:



The point is, command-line apps are (and should very well be) built to run exactly like command-line apps, including the immdiate termination! So there isn't some built-in magic wand to pause your program.
