Dev C++ output help?

Question

when i run a program i have made in Dev C++, i compile and run it but the output on the command line flashes for about a quarter of a second and then goes away, i can never see it. Is there any way i can make it stay open and not instantly go? i am only a C++ novice,

So any help is appreciated, thank you.

Answer 1

You need the C++ equivalent of the C command system("PAUSE"); which causes the program to wait until a key is pressed. Dev C++ may allow the use of the C command, even if the rest of your code is C++.

Answer 2

use the header file

#include<conio.h>

and use the function

getch();

this makes the output screen to stay till u press a key

eg:

#include<iostream.h>

#include<conio.h>

int main()

{

cout<<"HI";

getch();

return(0);

}
