Re: [Dev-C++] Re: cin.get()

[<gi...@li...>]

Hello Aaron,

since you are developing console applications, my suggestion is: run them 
from the console. In fact, when you use the console, there is no need to 
add "cin.get" or "system("PAUSE")" or any other special instruction 
preventing Windows from closing the window :-)

For instance, the following code would work as expected:

#include <iostream>
int
main()
{
   std::cout << "Please enter a number:";

   int n;
   std::cin >> n;

   std::cout << "You entered: "<< n << '\n';
}
