closing the window
Author
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int pause;
cout << "7 + 3 =" << 7 + 3 << endl;
cin>>pause;
return 0;
}
whats the simplest statement to make the window close hitting enter key? this one requires clicking the window X to close.
cin.get()
There are other ways, of course, but I've used this one because it is small and cross-platform.

It's platform-specific. There's the non-standard getch function:
Properly, though, you should let the environment handle that. If you're trying to write portable C++ code, then realize that C++ has no concept of "windows" and that it's either your IDE or operating system that is keeping the window open.
In short, ignore it. It's not part of your program.
#include <conio.h>... cout << "Press a key to exit." << endl; getch();...#include <conio.h>... cout << "Press a key to exit." << endl; while(!kbhit()) {}...... cout << "Press [Enter] to exit." << endl; cin.get();...Properly, though, you should let the environment handle that.

I agree with Oluseyi that this shouldn't really be a part of your program. I only use it when developing console apps in Windows because I'm too lazy to dig through the VS.NET options to see if it will keep the window open for me.
Quote:Original post by dan1088352There's a problem with the system function, which is that it relies on the user PATH. If someone were to put a binary named pause.exe or pause.com under Windows, or pause under UNIX, anywhere on the path (since pause is a system command handled by the command interpreter), that binary would be executed instead.
system("pause");
Friendly heads up.
