    How to stop the DOS window disappear after finishing my program?

    Hi all

    I am in new in C/C++. Here is my question.

    I created a workspace in VC++ 6.0 using Win32 Console Application. However, the result in DOS window was disappeared so quickly when the program is finished. I have no time to read whether the result is correct or not. I just want to check it right or not, so I don't want to write it in a file.

    I would be grateful if anyone can help.

    David

    Try This

    Hi

    At the end of your program .. simply display this message
    Code:
    int main()
    {
        ......... your program....
    
       printf("Exiting the program.... press the enter key");
       getchar();
    
        return 0;
    }
    Have a wonderful day.... and keep smiling... you look terrific that way

    It's also in the FAQ!
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
