how do i change some thing when im working in a c++ source file then run the .exe it like pretty much closes right when i open it ? and how do i keep it from saying 'press any key to continue'

[Zakath]

When I was first starting out, I used an otherwise-meaningless call to getch() to hold up program termination until I was ready for it...

Btw, this isn't really bot-related. You should have posted in the general programming forum.

You can also #include <stdio.h> and at the bottom put in a system("pause") (on pc).

If you're on linux, it's all good since it runs in terminal anyway and you wouldn't have that problem.

If you're on mac, get a real computer.

you missed something...

what if your mac runs linux :p

Oh yeah and OS X is based on Bsd so it's unix ish you can get a terminal and run stuff so again you shouldn't have trouble... unless you have os9 then i have to agree get a real computer.

If there's a picture of an apple anywhere on the computer the it's garbage.. sorry

[Etheran]

mmmm apple.

int endme;
cout << "\nPress any key";
cin >> endme;

Haha OMG in all my time programming, I never thought of doing something as easy as easy as what Necrosis suggested. By the way, it would work a little different since the user would also have to press enter.

I still prefer getch().

Code Select Expand

printf( "Press any key to terminate" );
getch();
return 0;

Too bad getch is non-standard.
You could get the best of both worlds (not having to press enter + standard function) with cin.get();

Code Select Expand

getc(stdin); // this will work and it's standard!

This is the general programming forum lol

Probably because someone moved the topic...

Indeed.
