Visual Study

[doran_lum]

Hi all, I just started my programming course. I just install Visual Studio and was testing to run a simple C++ code but I don't get the result screen for all codes.

After hitting Ctrl+F5 for the 1st time, it will just show the output lines in the 1st screenshot. The cmd screen seem to pop out for a short time and then disappear.

On the 2nd time hitting the Ctrl+F5 button in the 2nd screenshot it doesn't do anything.

I have restarted by laptop and reinstall Visual Studio 2013 twice.

add the following codes before "return 0"

getchar();

If your concern is why the CMD close so fast, that is because Window close the cmd prompt upon program completion.

Put in a getchar() at the end to wait for user response. That will stall the application for you to see the standard output of your program

Thanks this work.. but it was weird that my classmate didn't have to add in this getchar();

They didn't have the same issue as me but we were all practicing the same worksheet..
