Dev c++ compiler problem

i'm using dev c++ compiler, I was just trying out some c code, just to display text on a screen, the compiler doesn't show this program. This is my code......

/* basic program */
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf ("text to be displayed");
}

any ideas?

"the compiler doesn't show this program"

Not sure what you are complaing about. Is the program compiling, and you are getting no output? If so, try adding a \n to the end of your string.

Possibly also alter main so that it returns an Int.

i think you have to include a couple of lines near the end of main :

Code:

---

printf("Press any key to continue\n");
getch();
