I'm teaching myself C++ programming from the book "Jumping Into C++". It's a great book so far and makes it easy to learn the language. I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio as the compiler. When I run a simple code the window doesn't stay open long enough for me to read the results. I tried the cin.get(); command, but that didn't work. I've attached the simple code in hopes one of you may recognize a mistake. I was using Code::Blocks through the first 2 chapters, but the program then tried installing malware on my PC, so I deleted that software and went with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Thank you,
Mike

 

Try

system("pause");

or

#include<stdio.h>
// ...
getchar();

 

You first suggestion worked.

Thanks!

 

Just open a dos box and run your program from there.

That window stays open until you choose to close it.

 

In Visual Studio, you can add break points at lines of execution.

Add one at the last bracket "}" and it will stop there after running the program in debug mode.

 

In college i have also studied little bit C++
remember only Cout<<
