[SOLVED] Help with Visual Studio output

Question

whenever I run a C++ program on Visual Studio. up pops up a little black window that shows the output for a less than a second
how can I extend this time, or have it show in the little console at the bottom of my screen?

Answer 1

Place cin.get(); at the end of your code.
It makes the console application wait for a input.

Run it with ctrl-F5

Answer 2

sneeze why ctrl-f5? just f5 works

btw thank you both for the answers.

Answer 3

F5 works but does not hold the console window.
So after all statements are executed the console window will disspear before you can view the output.

Ctrl -F5 works and hold the console window, so you can see the output.

Answer 4

Ok thanks sneeze

Answer 5

Im dont know c++ but probably you should write
cin.get() or system("pause") or using C functions like getch()or getchar()?

Answer 6

Answer 7
