As a matter of practise, it's better to include either iostream or stdio 
and to either cin; or to scanf();, since that's more cross-platform.  
system("pause") only works on Windows platforms, which is a really bad 
thing IMHO.  I often write code that needs to work on UNIX and Win32 
platforms, so it's best to learn to write the right way, as opposed to 
having to run through and change a bunch of code later.

If someone knows a more elegant way still, I'm totally open to that.  
Including either of those console libraries adds a significant size to 
the resultant binary, so if there's something else I'm not aware of, I'd 
love to hear it :)
