I'm trying to learn C++.?

I have down loaded Dev-C++ and try to program hello world and it compiled with no problem but when I run the program I don't see the out put. It prompts a window for a fractions of secods then it goes away. What can I do to fix this problem.

I know what you're talking about. At the end of the program, before return 0; and the cloisng } add the line:





system("PAUSE");





The window closes the instant the program completes. This executes the MS-DOS command "PAUSE", which waits for you to press a key before returning.





So just add that line and recompile. That should do it!
Reply:Does it run in console window? Just start the program from console, and it won't close after the program has ended, instead you'll get the prompt back.
Reply:you have to write at the end


system("PAUSE");





then the program will stop with a message like : press any key to continue





and the console window wont close

You can try restarting the program and the computer, see if that helps, but it sounds like you're missing the System "PAUSE"; line before the Return line in the main function.


If you aren't using a returnable main, you're using a void main()... in that case just put a System "PAUSE"; at the bottom.
