Help for a beginner
Hello, I'm just getting started with C++. I got the program Dev-C++.
I bought a book for complete beginners. But I can't even get the first example [ Hello World ] right. All that happens when I compile and run it is that I see a window appearing on the screen and then disappearing really fast again.
Here's the code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World\n";
return 0;
}

Most everyone who has used Dev-C++ has faced this, too.
One of the methods which will allow you to view the console (in a DOS or Windows version) is, before your return statement, add this statement to your main method:
system( "pause");
It freezes the display with an operating system message "Press any key to continue".
This is one of the items contained in the Dev-C++ FAQ files which are included with the IDE - go to help, index, type in FAQ ...
