    anyone use bloodshed Dev-C++?

    Just downloaded this but seem to be having some trouble running my programs.

    They compile and run, but once the dos window has come up it immediatly closes and doesnt seem to wait for me to "press and key to continue"

    e.g

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main ()
    {
    printf("Hello");
    return 0;
    }
    in my old compiler it would print "hello" and have "press any key to continue" and if hit a key and the window would exit.

    Now in dev-c++ it seems to run through the code once then immediatly close once it has completed.

    If I prompt for input it will show this, but then closes as soon as im done and want to output the results to screen.l

    If anyone understood all that...any ideas?

    Thanks,

    You have a couple of options:

    1) Run your program from the command line.
    2) Wait for input at the end of your program.
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    Code:

    cin.get() is C++. This is the C forum.
