Re: [Dev-C++] why does window close after execution? newbie

[Graham <sai...@bi...>]

woops .. obviously a newbie ...
I replied under the wrong subject
here it is with right subject header

I did look at the FAQ
this is where I found the Pause suggestion
my question was
can I prevent the window closing with a setting in DEV-C
When I was learning other languages and using JGrasp for instance it could
be set to not close the window so that the output could be viewed.   This
was not done by code added on the end each time but was done by a setting in
JGrasp ... I was hoping it was possible to change a setting in DEV-C to
achieve this.
I could not find an answer in the FAQ and wondered if anyone here could
assist.
Please forgive me if this is not the correct forum for such a question.

regards
Graham

This is indeed a VVVVVFAQ (very-very-very-very-...).
BTW this is absolutely NORMAL behaviour. To make the dos-prompt stay,
you need to pause your program at the end. Use this line before return:

getc();

This will wait for an "Enter".
(I don't like system("PAUSE"), as that is platform-dependent).
