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

[Santiago P. C. <San...@yd...>]

Hi again,

You can use 'cin.ignore();' instead of 'system("pause");'.
This is a portable method also.

Regards,
Santy

PS: Maybe a C++ pedantic issue, but for C++ include style use '#include
<iostream>' instead of '#include <iostream.h>' ;o)

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


//start of code

#include <iostream.h> 

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==100) //I use else just to show an example 

  {

     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. 

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
