What am I doing rong with my program !!!

I wrte a simple program and whin I run it I doesn't stay up long enugh to see the results. Here is my small program. "What's wrong."

//
// Conversion - 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 nCelsius;
cout << "Enter the temperature in Celsius:";
cin >> nCelsius;

// calculate conversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
int nFactor;
nFactor = 212 - 32;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int nFahrenheit;
nFahrenheit = nFactor * nCelsius/100 + 32;

// output the results
cout << "Fahrenheit value is:";
cout << nFahrenheit;

return 0;
}

i just compiled your program an it works fine.....

the reason why the program doesn't "stay" long enough b/c you are writing a console program under windows... if you would to run this program in MS-Dos it would be different...

if you want to stay in windows here's how to fix it....

- on the top ... where your include statements are put...

#include <stdlib.h>

and on the bottom .... right before the "return 0" statment put...

system("pause");

what this will do is.... as you to press any key to continue (hold the programs execution) the reason why you put this before your last return statment is b/c the "return" stament will end the "main" function and terminate the program...

hope this helps....

hmm?? I thought that the function system(...) required <process.h>?????

> required <process.h>?????

No....

An alternative would be to include getch() at the end (also in stdlib.)

govtcheez is right, getch() is better - try to avoid system calls if you can. The code you want is

int wait1 = getch();
return 0;


this will wait for a keypress before the program exits
you nee to include conio.h for this
