system("PAUSE") is used to pause the execution of a program. In pressing any key it will continue to output or whatever instruction you have given.

Muhammad Danial That actually depends on you , you need to sort it out in your algorithm

In-program* you can hang for input. This forces the OS/process to pay attention to you (and tie up I/O handles, from the same pool as network sockets) until you answer. This is not ideal in the world of streams (anything recent): e.g., with forced program pauses you can't easily redirect your output to a file (or a pipe) and background threads hang. That said...here's how to hang: #include <conio.h> _getch(); If you can, you should consider generating ALL of your output like usual. Then your program finishes normally, its output is sent to an output/memory stream and the program can quit (freeing up resources). In this case you'd "pipe" its output to a stream manipulator like "more" (all OSs) or "less" (Linux, Android + others): C:\>myprogram.exe | more $ myprogram | less This fills the screen with one page of content at a time. When you press enter/space, "more" always continues forward, while "less" can also go backwards. * Note, "pause" is an external "DOS internal shell" command
