my c++ program crashes
Author
It runs through all my code, and then instead of the black window sitting there with the "press any key to continue" message, it just instantly closes and I get this error.
The program '[4100] tehprogram.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
My temporary solution is just using a system("PAUSE") at the very end, which makes the black box stay there. However, I still get the error after I "press any key" and finish the program. I'm not sure what to do about it.
Thanks
looks more like the program you're using to launch the program is simply notifying you that the program executed and returned fine.
2 things.
1) Your program shouldn't end with a "press any key to continue"
Visual Studio(and other windows IDE's) only does this because otherwise you wouldnt see anything.
You should launch console apps from the console, not by doubleclicking the exe.
Unless you dont expect any text output.
2) Your program "exited with code 0" is telling you that your program hit a return
statement in main "return 0;", and thus exited normally.

Return code 0 useually indicates success, so your program is executing just
fine.
The "Black box" is the command prompt. After your program terminates,
the command prompt will terminate unless you add code to keep it open
(such as system ("pause"))
When you run the program within an IDE, the IDE useually appends the code,
so the command prompt stays open after the program terminates.
btw, "system" is system dependent, and is not recommended. A better method
is using cin.get(), ie:
Hope this helps;

ok, but it hasn't been doing this before. I have been just compiling it and running it in visual studios since I'm still working on it, and it hasn't done this before. I can't recall changing anything recently... so why would it start doing this now? Plus, since it exits immidiatly, it wouldn't let me see any output. Why would this be normal?
thanks for the quick responses everyone. Thanks for the alternate code crypter, I didn't realize system was bad to use.

Fixed. Artificially pausing your programs by any means is bad form. Other options in Visual Studio are to set a breakpoint at the return statement in main, and view the output in the console window before continuing, or run without debugging (ctrl+f5).
If it is crashing, run it in the debugger.
So instead of exiting, it will stall out on the error.
If it doesn't stop at the error, then add a breakpoint at the begining of
your program, and step through it till it crashes.

since i don't use visual studio i won't comment on that aspect but your program closing is normal because you haven't specifically forced it to stay open (ex: asking for input) you could, however, run it from the console and view the output without the console closing.
It sounds like you are working with a console application, meaning in its finished state, its meant to be run from a console window. If you open a command window, cd to the directory containing your executable and run it, you'll see your output in the command window.
Visual Studio is kinda nice in that it will fire up the program for you and tacks a pause statement at the end as a convenience during development. The release build is meant to be run from the command line.
