Thread: very new to C++

I have started doing some of the online tutorials and the question I have is . When I compile those simple beginner programs it brings a dos box up does what the program says to do the closes almost as quick as it opens . What gives with that ?
I dont even get to see what it did .

1)you can add getch(); at the bottom of your program. now your program wil wait untill you press a key. (note: you have to put #include <conio.h> at the top of your file)

2)you can add system("pause"); at the end of your program ( #include <stdlib.h> )

3)if you are using MSVC++ you can use run (CTRL-F5)

Yes, but for msvc++, it is _getch(); . You must have the underscore. Also, when you start making longer programs, it won't happen, at least thats how it went for me.

getch() works for me, I've never used _getch()
doesn't the '_' has something to do with unicode?

Thnakyou very much

If you press enter to submit some imformation does that cont for the getch()
