Need some help with C++.....
Author
Hey,
I am trying to learn C++, andI am having a problem where everything is fine until i run the program, then the screen quickly flashes up for a split second and i can see the program, then it disapears again. No matter what i do i cant get it to stay up for longer than 1/2 a second.
Can anyone help please?
thanks
I assume you are doing a console program? If so stick a while loop at the end of the program that only breaks when the user enters a key.
Ballistic Programs
Ballistic Programs
Usually i do this right before the "return 0": system("pause");

alright....well i know how to use two operating systems, windows and linux.
I am guessing you are using windows, but I will tell you how do it on Linux next.
1) Go into MS-DOS
2) type CD \
3) type CD directory
for example, to get to C:\sierra\Half-Life, type CD \sierra\Half-Life
4) Then, just type the name of the program, you dont need to add the .exe to the name of the file if you dont want to.
In Linux:
1) Go into Konsole
2) Like in MS-DOS, use cd \directory
3) Instead of typing the name of the program, you would probably have to type ./ or \. or something (i cant exactly remember, I havent been on linux for about a week, i always get mixed up for some reason) and after the ./ thing type the name of the program (i think you might need a space after the ./ but im not sure)

Or XTerm, ETerm, ATerm, Gnome Terminal, or whatever

Well, you could add ''.'' (current directory) to your PATH (environment variable), and then you wont have to add the ''./'' unless the ''.'' is in your PATH after the path of something with the same name. I remember that it ''./'' because unixes use ''/'' for directory seperation, and I remember that because the other slash ''\'' is the ''precedes a literal character'' slash
(besides that, it''s a habit now ). There''s no space after the ''./'' since the command line would think it''s a seperate ''word'' and try to execute ''./'' by itself. 
this is my thing:

#include <stdlib.h>int main(){....//somestuff/*#1:*/ system("pause"); //you'll get text though.../*#2:*/ Sleep(3000); //every thousand is a second.../*#3:*/ getch(); //you shouldnt use using namespace std;/*#4: use MSVC++ , this compiler is the best! */return 0;} [edited by - Pipo declown on June 1, 2002 11:54:04 AM]
