Thread: My program closes immediately

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this forum and just started learning C++. I have Windows XP and my compiler is Bloodshed DEV/C++ 4. I started the tutorial and tried to compile the first program. Once I opened the .exe file, it closes immediately, but if you're very fast, you can see that it does output 'Hello world!'. I really don't understand what went wrong, so I included the .cpp file. I hope that anyone could help me.

You got to have something to make it stop for you to read the text. Include <cstdio> and right before you do your "return 0" add in getchar()

Code:

#include <cstdio>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   std::cout<<"Hello, world!";
   getchar();
   return 0;
}

Thank you very much! Now it works! I hope I'll become as good as you guys are!
