Thread: hello, brand new here, need help with inputting data

okay, so i have this basic program (from the tutorials section), this is what it is:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>			
int main()				//Most important part of the program!
{
  int age;				//Need a variable...
  cout<<"Please input your age: ";	//Asks for age
  cin>>age;				//The input is put in age
  if(age<100)				//If the age is less than 100
  {
     cout<<"You are pretty young!";     //Just to show it works
  }
  else if(age==100)		//I use else just to show an example 
  {
     cout<<"You are old";		//Just to show you it works...
  }
  else
  {
    cout<<"You are really old";	//Executed if no other statement is executed
  }
  return 0;
}

anyways, so the problem is, i run the console program and i get prompted :how old are you, so i put in a number and hit enter, then the window just dissappears, this has happened with all my programs that require data inputted.

any help would be great! thanks

and BTW, I did do a search, and didn't find anything.
