Does anybody use Visual Studio?

Question

I am buildig the basic "Hello world!" program, and I have no errors on my build, but I cannot see the output. A window flashes on and off when i run it, which I assume is where "Hello World" is printed, but how do I make it stay on screen so I can see it? i think thia must be a settings issue.

Thank you

Answer 1

The recommended way to halt output window from exiting is to add getchar() before return 0.

Answer 2

At the end of your program, you can add these two lines (in your main() function):

cout << "Press any key to continue..." << endl;
cin.get()

Answer 3

Or before "return 0;" write: std::system("pause>nul");

Answer 4

@Jakub

I will have to try that soon

Answer 5

or you can assign a variable(like I) at the top of the main function and then go to main function and on last line write
cout << I;

Answer 6

I use, but I have problems when I need to erase a line.
