[Dev-C++] Having trouble with Dev-C++ compiler

When i execute a program using Dev-C++ the program will not show the end result after entering input; it will just exit the display screen.  Why does this happen?

Take this program for example.....


/*
 Find the number of gallons held in a cylindrical tank.
 top down design

 I. Get input from the user
  A. Establish the diameter of the tank in feet
  B. Establish the height of the liquid in the tank in feet

 II. Calculate the volume of a cylinder in cubic units
  A. Compute the diameter and height values in the formula for volume
     of a cylinder
  B. Volume of a cylinder is 3.1416*radius*radius*h
  C. Radius is the diameter/2
  D. The obtained volume is then converted to gallons

 III. Display the results
  A. Display the volume
  B. Format: The volume of the given diameter and height:
   "_' "_' etc. "is" the volume */

#include<iostream.h>

int main()

{

float height, diameter, volume, gallons;

cout << " Enter the diameter and the height of the cylinder " << endl;
cin >> diameter >> height;
volume = 3.1416 * (diameter/2) * (diameter/2) * height;
gallons = volume * 7.5;
cout << " The Volume of the given diameter and height is " << endl;
cout << diameter << height << volume;

return 0;

}


.......after i enter the diameter and height it will exit the screen instead of showing the answer.  My program works with the compiler at school but not with this one.  Thanks for any help you can give me.
