[Dev-C++] DEV-C++ Does Not Pause

[Administrator <ad_...@ho...>]

//start of code

#include <iostream.h>		=09

int main()				//Most important part of the program!

{

  int age;				//Need a variable...

  cout<<"Please input your age: ";	//Asks for age

  cin>>age;				//The input is put in age

  if(age<100)				//If the age is less than 100

  {

     cout<<"You are pretty young!";     //Just to show it works

  }

  else if(age=3D=3D100)		//I use else just to show an example=20

  {

     cout<<"You are old";		//Just to show you it works...

  }

  else

  {

    cout<<"You are really old";	//Executed if no other statement is =
executed


  }

  return 0;

}

//end of code

when I enter "my age"  then I must press <ENTER> to run the if =
statements, The DOS window stays up till i press <ENTER> to process.=20

I cant get the movie to pause and give me the result "You are old". "You =
are really old" or whatever the result must be.

How can I pause the movie and process it?

I tried:

//code
system("PAUSE");
 return 0;
}
//code

but this just trows an error.

Also I tried to run the EXE by itself, but again, it does the same thing

Thanks for your help

You could do another cin.

    cout << "Hit enter to continue." << endl;

Hi,
You probably have a compilation error.
system("PAUSE") needs stdlib.h (#include <stdlib.h>)

[Santiago <sa...@ho...>]

just type cin.ignore(); below the cin>>age; statement
