Alright so I just bought a C++ book and finished Hello World.exe BUT whenever I double click it to run the file, the CMD Prompt opens up and closes immediately after, so I can't see anything. Does anyone know how I can make it so the CMD Prompt doesn't immediatly shut down, or is this normal?

Code:

   cin.ignore();
   cin.get();
   return 0;

at the end of your main function

Actually,

Code:

system("pause");
//Requires windows.h

or

Code:

getch();
return 0;
//Requires conio.h

works as well. If you want just to keep it open, use

Code:

Sleep(INFINITE);
//Requires windows.h

Or just run it with cmd
Start => run => "cmd" => Run!

Code:

cd folder/of/ya/prog
hello-world.exe

Avoid System("pause"); all it does is creates a huge overhead in your program which you don't need or want.

And guernica's example was fine. That is one of the more preferred methods.

Or you can just run it from the actual command prompt if you're feeling extra saucy.

Personally i like using a loop, bool, and a switch on most programs that i can make repeat to use again. _________________ Earthbound = 31337

haha alright thanks guys i'll try those.

where would i insert those in

Code:

#include <iostream>

int main();
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}

and is having both the "int main()"'s necessary?
I tried putting in the Sleep(INFINITE); right after return 0; and that didn't work.
I also tried guernica's method after the } and also tried replacing it with the current return 0;, neither worked.
In cmd prompt I went to the .exe's destination folder and tried running the program there but it said "'hello world.exe' wasn't recognized as an internal or external command or as an operable program or batch file.

although i found out keeping cmd prompt open isn't really necessary, for my compiler shows what the program does below the source.. >_<

You dont prototype main. What compiler do you use? _________________ Earthbound = 31337

It doesn't work because

Code:

return 0;

is the exit call for the main thread. If you put code after that call, it will not be executed. Put it this way:

Code:

Sleep(INFINITE); return 0;

Although it's not necessary to put in "return 0;" if you are planning to use Sleep(INFINITE) it's better to be sure that your program is terminated if something unusual happens.

As for the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!"<<endl;
Sleep(INFINITE);
return 0;
}

@Wiccaan: You're absolutely right, system("pause"); is awful way of stopping the application, but it is a method to do that anyways.
