console

[jimjake]

I wrote a program, and it works fine. It’s a console program. When I run it under my compiler it stops and says press enter to return. When I run it outside the program executes and the console window with the information disappears in a split second, there is no chance to read it. Is there away to keep the console active until I can get the information…… the program uses std::cout and std::cin .....Jim

Yeah, just #include <conio.h> and use getch(), it will pause until the user presses a key.

Or try more simple and robust:

system("pause"); // system() from <cstdlib>
