At the minute I am using the following rather unwieldy function to
prevent the console
window in Dev C++ from closing before I can see the output from my
program:
// function to prevent the Dev C++ Console Window from closing
// before I can see the program's output
void keepConsoleWindowOpen ()
{
int any_number;
std::cout << 'nn';
std::cout << 'Please enter a number to end the program:';
std::cout << 'nn';
std::cin >> any_number;
}
In order to prevent the console window from closing too soon, I call
the above
function with:
keepConsoleWindowOpen ();
This works, but I'm sure it's not the most elegant method to use. Does
anybody else
know of a better way to prevent the console window from closing too
soon when writing
a C++ program in Dev C++ ?
Thanks in advance!

That's exactly what I was looking for. And I'm pretty sure I did the
equivalent in Visual C++ years ago!
That should be, until you press 'Enter'.
Understood!
Many Thanks,
Richard

Add Console.ReadLine() at the end of Main. That will keep the console
open until you press the 'any' key.

Hi All,
When I create a Console app in VS.net and run it, the Console window
opens briefly and closes. If I was running a .bat command file, I'd
append a pause stmt at the end. What can I do in VS? I'm a newbie and
keeping that window open would be helpful for studying.
Thanks in advance,
Richard
