C++ programming?

Question

how do you get the program you compile to stay up when you run it if it just flashes

Answer 1

you should type this after :
#include

and before u put ' }' in the last row of main function, type:
getch();

hope u got it! =)

Answer 2

Assuming you are new to programming and it's a program you are compiling in windows.

You have type

system("pause");

before the "return (value). Otherwise the windows program will close it.

Answer 3

I guess, your program is console one, right?
You can make it stay onscreen either adding
getch();
or
while( !kbhit()) { ; }
at the end of your main() -- in this case it will wait for a keypress -- or simply executing it from command line (from console).

Answer 4

at the very end of your program (if using on a windows based OS) type
system("pause");
