    How To Execute In Full-Screen, Maximized, etc?

    Is there a library function that can be used to set the default console size for a program?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    The easiest way that I've found of have full control of how a console looks is using CreateProcess(), from another program and filling the STARTUPINFO struct with the desired values (you can set the exact screen size for the console like a windows app).

    Alternatively, you can set the size using SetConsoleScreenBufferSize() and SetConsoleWindowInfo().
