Small problem probably...

Okay, so I literally JUST got into C++ programming, and I'm using Dev C++... I'm using a tutorial/guide thing to help me learn, and I create this console script that's just supposed to say "Hello world! I am a C++ program!" Well that's all fine... I compile it- no errors. But, when I run it, the thing comes up for like a millisecond and just vanishes. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

This is a copy of the script I used...

// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
cout << "I'm a C++ program!";
return 0;
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Start - Run - cmd

then go to the dir where is your program stored and run it.
(just type the name of the compiled exe file)

Or add

system("PAUSE");

Thanks for the help, guys. Actually what I did was at the end of the code, I just put "cin.get();" As you all probably already know, that makes you push the Enter button before the program will finish.

as does for windows OS anyway.

Usually, there is an option in the IDE (most people use IDEs nowadays; MS Visual *, Eclipse, KDevelop, CodeBlocks) somewhere to make the window stay up.

The described methods are pretty much just workarounds for not turning that option on.
