You can execute you program via DOS prompt or by inserting something like
system("PAUSE") or getchar() before the return.

Anyway, straying from the point.
DOS actually helps out on performing some things, if I remember right, the
getchar() function would cause a program to echo what is written. When a
letter is typed, dos would print (echo) it and when return is pressed, the
program executes, printing the stored data. This is why conio.h was created,
I suppose, to bypass this help, getch() executes once the key is pressed.
I'm not to sure how accurate my memory is, I read this a while back.
