C++ Issue

I wanted to teach myself C++, and found myself a guide.

I have been using this one:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/program_structure/

I'm on step one, took a full page of notes. I attempt compiling and running the initial given code with dev c++, but nothing. I have dissected it, and with the given info I can't figure out why it won't work. Any suggestions?

And yet you don't post anything like compiler error messages or what exactly "won't work". Syntax error? Linker error? Segfault at runtime?

Also, don't be using Dev-C++. That shit is a dead project as of like 7 years ago.

Oh god wait, don't tell me this is the "The console thing disappears right away - what's wrong?" problem.

IDE for C/C++ was written in Pascal? C/C++ must be really bad language...

It is. If this is a common problem, I suppose there's an easy fix?

>>2
Suggestions for a compiler?

Troll failed.

>>5
either open a cmd command prompt and cd to the place where the program is and run it from there, or put some wait call at the end of the main function that makes the program wait for a user key before exiting.

>>5
Run it from a normal cmd prompt / terminal like >>7 says.

system("pause"); // Awwww yea

>>4
C++ is a terrible! language for GUIs.

Why the fuck don't these idiots learn how to use the command prompt BEFORE they learn any programming AT ALL?

>>10
How about you help out with that. Teach an idiot how to use it.
