    Auto-Exit

    First off, I'd like to say hello to y'all, and thanks in advance for responding (assuming you do so in the first place).

    I'm a beginning programmer (if even that), and was absolutely ecstatic when I used a free compiler (Bloodshed Dev-C++) to create my first "program". The purpose was originally to convert celsius to fahrenheit, and later to "count" to 10, to test the "while" function.

    After compiling the program and initiating it, I input the number, hit enter....and it dissapeared. Closer investigation revealed the thing went freaking fast, finished, and decided it was done. With the loop "counter", it would zoom through anything less than 1000 and do the same thing.

    I have the code I used for both of them at the bottom; can I "stagnate" the program so I can see the results, and, in the case of the "counting" program, can I slow it down abit? Thanks again.


    And now, the code:

    Code:
    //
    // Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree
    // units into Fahrenheit degree units:
    // Fahrenheit = Celsius * (212 - 32)/100 + 32
    //
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
    {
        // enter the temperature in Celsius
        int celsius;
        cout << "Enter the temperature in Celsius:";
        cin >> celsius;
        
        // calculate conversion factor for Celsius
        // to Fahrenheit
        int factor;
        factor = 212 - 32;
        
        //use conversion factor to convert Celsius
        // into Fahrenheit values
        int fahrenheit;
        fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32;
        
        // output the results
        cout << "Fahrenheit value is:";
        cout << fahrenheit;
        
        return 0;
    }

    And...


    Code:
    //WhileDemo - input a loop count. Loop while outputting astring arg number
    //            of times
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <iostream.h>
    
    int main(int arg, char* pszArgs[])
    {
        // input the loop count
        int loopCount;
        cout << "Enter loopCount: ";
        cin >> loopCount;
        
        while (loopCount > 0)
        {
              loopCount = loopCount - 1;
              cout << "Only " << loopCount << " loops to go\n";
        }
        return 0;
    }

    FAQ you!

    and you can use the windows-specific Sleep function to slow down the while loop.

    If you program in C++, you need Boost. You should also know how to use the Standard Library (STL). Want to make games? After reading this, I don't like WxWidgets anymore. Want to add some scripting to your App?
