Window closes everytime I push enter

[Kaidao]

Hey guys, I'm using Dev-C++ compiler for my coding, but everytime I write a program that prompts the user to do input, and they press enter to well, enter the input, the program closes on me without letting me see the result. How do I get around this? I've tried doing

cin.get() and

cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail()+1)

None of these seem to work. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

The other reason could be that you are getting a fatal runtime error, but that's unlikely

You're using cin to get that input, right? cin 'looks' at the input stream, and reads everything until whitespace. It then leaves the whitespace in the stream (newline for sure - spaces, tabs, etc, suddenly I'm not so sure about...).

Anyway, so the user enters some input and hits enter. Your program takes the input, assigns it to whatever variable, and leaves the '\n' in the stream. Then you're program's almost done, and gets to cin.get(). cin.get() looks at the stream, grabs the newline, and continues on with life - which is why your window closes, provided all my assumptions about your program are correct. If you're going to go between cin and cin.get(), use cin.ignore() between cin and cin.get().

try getch(); maybe...??

Put a

system("pause")

at the end of your program..

and i will see the results...

getch() is not standard, system() leaves security leak.

some extra info.

maybe this works too?

cin.clear();
cin.ignore(1000, '\n');
cin.get();

Both are bad. Use Decrypt's method...
