    running code in borland

    ok, I've got my code, and it compiles with no errors, and the code file test1.cpp is part of the project Learn.exe.

    When I click run (presumably the green button on the second toolbar that looks kind of like > ), a small window flashes up sufficiently quickly that I can't even read it.

    My test1.cpp file just has the command cout << "Hi!\n";

    So, what I'm looking for is how to get a window where I can watch the output (and for more complex programs enter user input).

    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.

    That doesn't work. I added a cin line to get the code to stop.

    This code compiles, but when I click run, I get a box (unlike the black screen I know from MS Visual) that seems to have potential error messages on it but appears for a very short time (not a flash, but too short for me to read), and I get no option to input anything:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
         char Conf;
    
         cout << "Press any key to exit ...";
         cin >> Conf;
    
         return 0;
    }

    Run it from a command prompt, then you'll be able to see what (if anything) is happening.

    it will run from MS Visual C++ express. Command prompt not immediately transparent from borland interface.

    so, i guess no substantive help on this ...

    Uh... Go to Start->Run, type "cmd", cd to the directory where you executable is, and execute it?
    Code:
    //try
    //{
    	if (a) do { f( b); } while(1);
    	else   do { f(!b); } while(1);
    //}
