C++ question

[Kur]

I just upgraded to VS2008 and it seems I keep getting this very annoying problem, whenever I write a program it works, however at the end when it outputs the answer I can barely see the output but the window instantly closes.

Any ideas?

Edit. my code and output info.

// ******************************************************
//
// SumProduct.cpp
//
// This program prompts the user for two integers then
// outputs their sum and product.
//
// ******************************************************

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//
// Variable declarations
//
int num1, num2;
int sum, product;


//
// Read in two integers
//
cout << "Enter an integer: ";
cin >> num1;

cout << "Enter another integer: ";


// --------------------------------
// ----- ENTER YOUR CODE HERE -----
// --------------------------------
cin >> num2;
sum = num1 + num2;
product = num1 * num2;

cout << "The sum is: " << sum << endl;
cout << "The product is: " << product;

// --------------------------------
// --------- END USER CODE --------
// --------------------------------


cout << "The end!!!\n";

return 0;
}

press ctrl f5 when debugging instead of pressing just f5 or the debug icon in visual studio

Why does that work?

 

[Cogman]

just add cin.get() to the end and it will exit on a key press.

You either need to run the program outside the IDe or follow the advice of Cogman to place a read request at the end of the program. This allows you to observe the output before the program closes.

Windows sure goes to a lot of trouble to make folks believe its more than a DOS shell...

That or toss a sleep in of say, 10 seconds.

Or start from the command prompt, then run your program.
