    Dos help.

    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;
    }
    For some reason, my dos prompt closes after its done with the results, i dont have XP so i cant just right click on the program and go to "program" tab.

    Also someone said to place cint>>whatever ?? Since im new at this, i dunno what he's talking about, i just want the dos screen to stay so i can see results in the .exe

    Also,going to properties in the dos screen doesnt help, i unchecked the thing that said "close when exit" or something, it still closes after it runs. Any help?

    (this is in the tutorials at cprogramming.com btw, the second tutorial.)

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    It's supposed to do that, put 'cin>>age;' at the end. Theirs a getches or something where you make a loop 'while(getch!=1);' or something that will wait for user input but I don't know the exact source. Maby someone else does(hint ..hint)

    Edit: I found it: from cpp-home
