beginner

beginner here, just stated learning C++ and i have come up against a small problem. Everytime i run or build one of my projects, the cmd window closes before i can see the results. Is there a way to stop the cmd window closing after it has run the code?
thanks for your time chaps.

would learning Python first limit me in the future or is it fairly easy to switch between languages once you've learnt one?
Thanks for your help, i should have come here first instead of listening to /g/. should have known better...
