    Include conio.h and place getch(); at the end of the main function. If you don't have conio, place fgets(); or some other input function instead.

    Vis your question, Magos has supplied you with a solution, read the FAQ for others, hint, your program is running so fast, it is exiting before you have had a chance to read it.

    Hmm..

    Add this header-file on your program:
    Code:
    #include <stdlib.h>
    And at the end of the main function, of course, before 'return', add this line:

    Code:
    system("pause");

    And if you're already using the iostream library for I/O,
    Code:
    cin.get();
