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

[Richard C. <tel...@ya...>]

heck he's programming for DOS, let him use system("PAUSE").=20
it goes against the very nature of programming to get() or cin or scanf e=
tc when you dont want to!
i mean, sure it does the trick, but it doesnt 'wait for an 'enter'' it wa=
its to read in the next character or string or whatever.

i dunno, i'm being pedantic i know. ;)

but how many other platform have console windows which open and close lik=
e they do in windows??
