Output not visible

aliasnikhil · 05-25-2009, 08:58 AM

Hey guys,
i am a newbie so please pardon if i asked a foolish question
i started to learn programming using c++ with Dev c++ complier
i wrote a program which displays an sentence and output visible in command prompt windows
the command prompt window opens and closes quickly
if i keep on executing the program then i can slightly see the sentence
the command prompt window opens and closes quickly.
i cannot see the result
the program is error free i assure you that.
how do i keep the command prompt window open for a long time.
Or if you know another complier with its own display then please post the link or give its name

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hey, add the following to your code:

Code:

cin.get();

It will wait for the user to press enter before the program closes. (e.g. put it at the end, after your output routine).
It's a common problem/thing but you'll get used to it.

Cheers,
Jamey
