[Dev-C++] DEV-C++ Does Not Pause

[Administrator]

//start of code

#include <iostream.h>

int main() //Most important part of the program!

{

int age; //Need a variable...

cout<<"Please input your age: "; //Asks for age

cin>>age; //The input is put in age

if(age<100) //If the age is less than 100

{

cout<<"You are pretty young!"; //Just to show it works

}

else if(age==100) //I use else just to show an example

{

cout<<"You are old"; //Just to show you it works...

}

else

{

cout<<"You are really old"; //Executed if no other statement is executed


}

return 0;

}

//end of code

when I enter "my age" then I must press <ENTER> to run the if statements, The DOS window stays up till i press <ENTER> to process.

I cant get the movie to pause and give me the result "You are old". "You are really old" or whatever the result must be.

How can I pause the movie and process it?

I tried:

//code
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
//code

but this just trows an error.

Also I tried to run the EXE by itself, but again, it does the same thing

Thanks for your help

You could do another cin.

Hi,
You probably have a compilation error.
system("PAUSE") needs stdlib.h (#include <stdlib.h>)

just type cin.ignore(); below the cin>>age; statement

yeah i needed to include:

#include <stdlib.h>

so every time i need to pause a move
i must include the

stdlib.h

and use the

system("pause");

command

thanx

[Santiago Palmier Campos]

Hi again,

You can use 'cin.ignore();' instead of 'system("pause");'.
This is a portable method also.

Regards,
Santy

PS: Maybe a C++ pedantic issue, but for C++ include style use '#include
<iostream>' instead of '#include <iostream.h>' ;o)
