Return?

What would I return to keep a program open? I've tried everything from 0 to 1, to even 300! Please help =/

(Yes, I'm a newbie programmer [at least in C++])

If you are using Visual C++ then you can declare a variable and then get the input into it at the end like this:

PHP Code:

---

int main(){
int i;
//Do stuff....
cin>>i;
return 0;} 


---

Once you execute the return statment in main(), you exit the current program.

By convention returning 0 means success. The calling program recevies the return value and keeps on going (or aborts on error)

But what you seem to want is a way for the program not to quit?
