What is the exe you trying to run ?

**bivhitscar** · 04-28-2006

I assume you are writing the programs that are closing instantly? Try putting in

Code:

system("PAUSE");

before

Code:

return 0;

heres what i got

Code:

int main() 
{
    puts("BLAH!");
    return(0);
}

Hmm, strange. It works from the exe on my compy. What are you running?

You could also try to put the correct h files at the top of your program.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

You could have just read the FAQ on the topic, but it seems no one bothers with that...

What's a FAQ? Isn't that the noise a duck makes, or something?
