RE: [Dev-C++] Nead help with my program

[Thomas S. <ml...@hp...>]

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to use the getchar() function? This will
effectively pause the program until the user presses Enter to exit it.

Add something like

printf("Press any key to continue...");
getchar();
Return 0;

to your program. You may need to include <stdio.h>. This function is
included in stdio.h in C--I don't know the C++ equivelant, if there is one.

This function will achieve the same effect that "system("pause");" does
while avoiding calls to the host OS.

As you can guess, most people NEVER run any exe files they haven't built
themselves, bought from a reputable source or downloaded from a known
site ;)

Anyway: The source code is ok. Your only problem is that when the program
ends, the new window the application runs in will immediately close.

One solution to this, is to add this line:
system("pause");

immediately before the
return 0;
line in the main() function.

This will make the application pause just before it ends. You will then
have time to read the text. Then press Enter to stop the application and
close the window.
