Help with C++.. i wrote out a basic program and compiled it(without any error) but it doesn't display anything

I am using Turbo C++ 3.0 (that is what we have been told to use by our school teacher)


I was just given a basic program by my teacher to try a hand on


What happens is that when i run the program(after proper error-free compilation)a DOS screen is displayed for a split-second and then nothing happens


It looks as if the text to be outputed is displayed but the screen doesn't stay on


Please help!!

After creation of the .exe file, don't run the file from Windows, instead, go to the command prompt -%26gt; Start -%26gt; Run -%26gt; cmd.exe, and then go to the location of the .exe file and type the name and run it, that way the command prompt window won't disappear.
Reply:If i could able to view the code gives a better idea

Please tell your teacher that C++ has changed significantly with ANSI 99 revisions. Unless he intends to teach antiquated code, he should use a modern compiler like gcc/MinGW, or Visual C++. There is a free express edition of Visual C++ that he can have everyone install. And he can learn some modern C++ himself too.





%26gt;%26gt; DOS screen is displayed for a split-second and then nothing happens


It's not a DOS screen. It's a console window. Your program runs in a console window, but then once it is over, the console window closes (because it is no longer needed). The correct way is to manually open up a console window.





Look at Tamim's and StarChaser's answers for how to do so. For a guide on how to open up a command window. Google for Windows XP console commands, and more specifically how to use "cd". cd to your executable directory. Type in the name of the executable.





%26gt;%26gt; #include%26lt;iostream.h%26gt;


In modern C++ it is #include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





%26gt;%26gt; void main()


Incorrect. It is int main() . Required by the standard.





%26gt;%26gt; cout%26lt;%26lt;"Hello World";


std::cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello world";





Hence your program should be something like


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;





int main()


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello, world";


return 0;


}
Reply:Well, this is what happens





Your program runs, does its thing and end. Windows terminate the session and close the window running your program.


This happens every time you run a command (try running ipconfig from Start -%26gt; run... it will open a CMD window and zaps it again).





So, what you should do is to open a CMD window [Start-%26gt; run -%26gt; cmd] and run your program from there by typing the name of the executable that TC builds.





Happy programing
Reply:don't press any key when excute your program


or check if write in the end of code


(return 0)
