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

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

The debate about which piece of code to use to stop the window from closing
is very interesting and educational and I thank all contributors
BUT
My question is can it be done without adding code.
The problem only occurs when I compile and run in DEV-C
When I take the work in to uni, they run it on grasp or something else where
this problem doesnt occur.
SO
My Question Is
is the not a setting in DEV-C that will make it keep the window open??
eg this is a DEV-C question  not a C programming question

thanking all for your assistance

Graham

heck he's programming for DOS, let him use system("PAUSE").
it goes against the very nature of programming to get() or cin or scanf etc
when you dont want to!
i mean, sure it does the trick, but it doesnt 'wait for an 'enter'' it waits
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 like
they do in windows??
