Running console commands and or pausing the app.

So I've made a calculator but after it solves the problem it shows it for about half a second and then closes. Is there a C++ command that can allow me to run the batch command "pause" or is there any C++ command that let's me pause it?

Thank you for your time

You could call the pause command like so:

Code:

system("pause");

But I would not recommend using system since it is "evil".

Rather, just get some user input:

C:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    getchar();
    return 0;
}

C++:

Code:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cin.get();
    return 0;
}

system("pause");
It will work just fine but for the finished program or a serious one you are relasing I would recommend
cin.get();
cin.get();
It works well for me.
