simple question

[Rickie]

I'm using K&R C code and the Dev-C compiler. I'm making a DOS console and used this code.....
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

{
printf( "Hello, people\n" );
}

The program executes but closes after it displays the message, any one know how I keep the program open ?
Many Thanks

Various methods. One is adding something to keep the window open, like system("pause") (you need <stdlib.h> for that). I don't like them.
I prefer opening a console window and call the app from there.

Oh, and by the way: you're in the wrong forum. This is the C# forum, the C/C++ forum is further down the index page.

i dont understand why ppl who work in c++ can confuse '++' word to '#', and if in play c to now to know that c++ and C# arent the same as c...........something's very wrong

[Rickie]

I know the difference between the two c++ is object orientated. I also didn't see the other C forum, I never confused this one with it, so I thought the people in this forum might have the answer (which they did), chow

you can do a

getchar();

which will wait until Enter is pressed.

Except that I mainly visit the C/C++ forum, so I'm not one of the people from here really.
