    Question Dev-C++ project opptions

    Whe i open a new project for dev-c++, i can open a windows app, consol app, DLL, static liberary, or empty project. What is the difference?

    Also, how can i keep a consol app open? I tried the

    cin.get();

    that is just befor the return 0, but it doesnt work at all.

    If there is something in the input stream when you use cin.get();(like an enter from a cin) you have to put two consecutive cin.get();'s. Works for me anyways.

    Here is how to keep it open and i do use Dev c++.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <conio.h> //header for getch() keeps console open
    using namespace std;
    
    int main ()
    
    {
     cout <<"HEllo";
    
    getch();// closes console when user presses any key.
    return0:
    }
    hope it works

    getch(); is not a standard function.

    Does that really matter? He just wants to keep the console from closing!

    I never said that it doesn't work or that he shouldn't use it. Just letting him know.

    the windows app is for graphical applications. They look like the programs you run on your computer. The console app runs in dos and doesnt require and graphics or anything. Empty project lets you add different types of files to your "project" i recommened if you are new just use empty project and add a source file. Just type all your work in there.

    So, just start simple, and learn the basics first.
