    Simple Code Problem

    Ok, well i'm really new to C++, I just started yesterday, but I have this code and the output is nothing, any ideas?

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
        int a,b,c;
        int answer;    
        
        a=3;
        b=4;
        c=7;
        
        answer=a+b+c;
        
        cin.get();
        return 1;
    }
    Thanks,
    Relyt

    Edit:Whoops, was in the wrong forum to start with, meant to put this in the C++, maybe someone here can help me?

    If you are trying to print the answer a simple

    cout << "Answer = " << answer << endl;

    should work.
    Dont really see why you would need the get function for this one. You're not reading in data from any file or prompt.

    > answer=a+b+c;
    Print it with say
    Code:
    cout << "Answer is " << answer << endl;
    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.

    The reason I have that, is because without it, the output just flashes on and off really quick, it makes it so I have to hit enter for it to quit, also it worked thanks.

    For programs that don't require user input, I usually just open up a blank command prompt screen and drag the .exe into the field. It runs and when the exe ends it doesn't close the window.
