    works fine when i run it. what's your compiler? if it's msvs you may be entering your code in the wrong file (i remember having the same trouble, but i can't recall what i did to fix it). i think the computer is closing the console too fast for you to see the end results. but your program works fine

    code tags use []'s not <>'s

    if i understood correctly your problem, you'll have to put getch() in conio.h [compiler specific] just before return 0.

    this will wait for a user keypress after displaying your text.

    you could do a search on "wait for user input" and find something to your liking.

    include <stdlib.h> then you can just use: system("PAUSE");

    or getchar() with <iostream.h>
