    Thanks in advance

    Instead of the
    Code:
     
    return 0;
     }
    use the
    Code:
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
      }
    as soon as a user presses any key and hits enter, the program will terminate.

    He said pause for a few seconds!
    include windows.h and use

    Sleep(milliseconds);

    for example

    Sleep(3000);

    would pause for 3 seconds

    For that you might have to include the conio header anyhow, or the time.h file

    its either sleep(a value);
    or _sleep(a value);
    depending on what compiler u use

    if u got borland u can use

    delay(a value);

    i think the header for the sleeps i <stdlib.h>
    and delay i think <dos.h>
