Something to do with programming [split thread]

Peleus

Amateur, I have a spare one. If you can't get one on monday, just let me know and i can give you my spare. I think the best thing to do is to just take a load of them during the labs and keep them at home.

In Dev C++, when i run the C++ application it runs fine, but the Command Prompt window dissappears immediately after the result is displayed. How do i stop it from doing this? I tried sticking pause in the c++ script but it didnt work.

Ah right. The timetable they gave us in that red book was really useless wasn't it?

found the answer online: just add system("pause");

to the end of the script (but inside int main )

run your program from the command prompt to begin with

press windows button and r to bring up run window.

type 'command' or sometimes 'cmd' and hit enter to open up command prompt

find your directory

use the command 'cd' to change directory

'cd\' brings you back to root directory

^just incase you werent aware of the commands

Is system a function or something? What library would I have to declare at the top? Sorry for the probably stupid question:o

Webmonkey

if my memory serves me right its part of conio.h - so #include "conio.h"
bare in mind any time you use system, you are making your program none portable. Not standard.
You could simply just have a cin >> at last line.

If the thread doesn't drunkenly lurch from one topic to another, it's not an engineering thread. In that regard, you have made this one beautiful.
