Thread: Help with Dev C++!

I gots a prob. Whenever I run the program, the program pops up and then dissapears! Here's the code:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>
int main()
    {
    std::string plant;
    std::string glint;
    cout << "The world is about to be destroyed. You are in a futuristic spy base." << endl;
    cout << "You will soon go on a mission to save the world. In the corner of the room," << endl;
    cout << "you see a plant. The door is to the north and the basement is down." << endl;
    std::string firstroom;
    cin >> firstroom;
    if(firstroom == "x plant")
                 {
                 cout << "As you examine the plant, you spot a glint of silver in the soil." << endl;
                 cin >> plant;
                 }
    if(plant == "x glint" || "get glint")
                 {
                 plant:
                 cout << "You pick up the glint. It is a keycard to the NETWORK." << endl;
                 int getglint;
                 getglint = 1;
                 cin >> glint;
                 }
    system("pause");
    return 0;
    }

Yup

Everyone has this problem. iF you do a search you will find other solutions. i use this.

Code:

#include <conio.h>  // include this header file
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
std::string plant;
std::string glint;
cout << "The world is about to be destroyed. You are in a futuristic spy base." << endl;
cout << "You will soon go on a mission to save the world. In the corner of the room," << endl;
cout << "you see a plant. The door is to the north and the basement is down." << endl;
std::string firstroom;
cin >> firstroom;
if(firstroom == "x plant")
{
cout << "As you examine the plant, you spot a glint of silver in the soil." << endl;
cin >> plant;
}
if(plant == "x glint" || "get glint")
{
plant:
cout << "You pick up the glint. It is a keycard to the NETWORK." << endl;
int getglint;
getglint = 1;
cin >> glint;
}
getch();// add this line it, it waits for any keystroke from user!!!!
return 0;
}

Just add the header file and that getch() line in front of your return 0 and it should work. IF not look around and find other ways that people do it.

Vber you are correct its not good to use non-standard. However if you look closely at his original program thats what he used. System pause and it didnt work thats why he is asking for help.
