cin.get();

Name: Anonymous 2009-03-18 13:24

I just started learning c++.
In the book I'm learning from it doesn't use
cin.get();
yet whenever i don't use it the program closes

am i doing something wrong or has the author not put it there for a reason?

maybe the author assumes your running it from the command line

there's your problem!
In windows (if i remember correctly), it opens your programs in a different window. Without the cin.get(), it will close it straight away.

Ok thanks. I guess that solves the problem then.

Just using a command line prompt might be easier. Windows+r, cmd, then navigate to the program directory and run. Extra points if you use Cygwin instead.

As the person who helped him i have this to say - The quicker we're done with these stupid and simple questions, the sooner they fuck off and we can talk about abstract bullshite
