how do i make my program pause? im using dev c++ and ive used these commands return 0; and system ("pause");
# 1 Re: pause
#include "iostream"using namespace std;
int main()
{
float gallons;
cout << "7.481 gallons = 1 cubic foot" << endl;
cout << "Enter amount in in gallons: ";
cin >> gallons;
cout << gallons / 7.481 << "cubic feet" << endl;
system ("pause");
return 0;
}

its <iostream> for one thing.and pause is a windows/dos command, so you gotta be on that platform.
try
cin.getline and press enter to "unpause" until you can determine what is wrong with the system call.

be sure to include <cstdio> as well to give yourself access to the operating systemsorry ... the include should be <cstdlib>

I think the answer your looking for isSleep(1000); and those are in milliseconds i believe... not sure about what headers are supposed to be up there...

if you want a fixed time pause, say 1 second, use Sleep(1000);Otherwise, use cin>>x;
the program will pause until a key is hit.
