Thread: Window keeps closing....

Hey everyone,

I'm a newie to C++. I'm learning on my own and am finding it interesting. However, I'm having a problem. Everytime I execute my properly compiled code the window will not stay open until the execution is complete. It just flashes open and closes.

I'm using DevC++. Can someone tell me what I need to do to stop this from happening?

Much thanks,

Drojen

you can either add a cin.get() at the end your main function, or run your executable in Command Prompt

Hi drojen,

I'm in the same boat as you but I've been at it for a few months.

You may need

Code:

cin.ignore();
cin.get();

or

Code:

system("PAUSE");

I don't know about you but I don't know what this means:

run your executable in Command Prompt

Also, check the FAQ, this is covered there.

Good luck

it means you type cmd in the run menu, bring up a command
prompt, then you can either type out the path, or drag
and drop your program into the command window and
hit enter to run your program within the command prompt.

Thanks guys for all your help. I'll let you know what happens.
