Hi there,
I'm new to programming and i'm having problems when it comes to using programs I code. For example:
Whenever I try to use this program (Typing in name then pressing enter) the program shuts down when I press enter...Code:#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char me[20];
printf("what is your name?");
scanf("%s",me);
printf("Darn glad to meet you, %s!\n",me);
return(0);
}
Are there any ways to fix this?
Cheers,
Jack
you can put
before return 0. it will pause the program.Code:system("pause");

If your are running the code in windows then use the function getch() after the print statement.
If you are running on other platforms use this simple method for checking.Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
int main()
{
char me[20];
printf("what is your name?");
scanf("%s",me);
printf("Darn glad to meet you, %s!\n",me);
getch();
return(0);
}
Code:#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char me[20];
char ch;
printf("what is your name?");
scanf("%s",me);
printf("Darn glad to meet you, %s!\n",me);
printf("Press Enter to quit...");
scanf("%c",&ch);
return(0);
}
What the others have said.... Plus... If you are running the program by clicking on it with your mouse, you are opening a console window that automatically closes when the program finishes. The better way to run console mode programs is to open a command prompt and then run the program by typing it's name. That way the console will stay open and you can still see your program...Quote:

While you're at it, you don't need to put () around the return value in this case
Will work just wonderful.Code:return 0;
This is true... but the brackets are harmless. Personally I think bracketing after return is more consistent with the rest of the language...Quote:
