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.

Also a beginner here, not OP.
I did nearly the same thing OP did, dove into C++, yet it would seem better to pick up python to start.
Can anyone recommend me some methods of learning python?
Google is my friend, but people who have learned it already may be  better friends..
