copied!<p>Please note that the code above was tested on Code::Blocks 12.11 and Visual Studio 2012<br> on Windows 7.</p> <p><strong>For forcing your programme stop or wait, you have several options :</strong></p> <hr> <ul> <li><strong>sleep(unsigned int)</strong></li> </ul> <p>The value has to be a positive integer in millisecond. That means that if you want your programme wait for 2 seconds, enter 2000. </p> <p>Here's an example :</p> <pre><code>#include <iostream> //for using cout #include <stdlib.h> //for using the function sleep using namespace std; //for using cout int main(void) { cout << "test" << endl; sleep(5000); //make the programme waiting for 5 seconds cout << "test" << endl; sleep(2000); // wait for 2 seconds before closing return 0; } </code></pre> <p>If you wait too long, that probably means the parameter is in seconds. So change it to this:</p> <pre><code>sleep(5); </code></pre> <p>For those who get error message or problem using sleep try to replace it by _sleep or Sleep especially on Code::Bloks.<br> And if you still getting problems, try to add of one this library on the beginning of the code.</p> <pre><code>#include <stdio.h> #include <time.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <dos.h> #include <windows.h> </code></pre> <hr> <ul> <li><strong>system("PAUSE")</strong></li> </ul> <p>A simple "Hello world" programme on windows console application would probably close before you can see anything. That the case where you can use system("Pause").</p> <pre><code>#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(void) { cout << "Hello world!" << endl; system("PAUSE"); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>If you get the message "error: 'system' was not declared in this scope" just add the following line at the biggining of the code :</p> <pre><code>#include <cstdlib> </code></pre> <hr> <ul> <li><strong>cin.ignore()</strong></li> </ul> <p>The same result can be reached by using cin.ignore() :</p> <pre><code>#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(void) { cout << "Hello world!" << endl; cin.ignore(); return 0; } </code></pre> <hr> <ul> <li><strong>cin.get()</strong></li> </ul> <p>example :</p> <pre><code>#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(void) { cout << "Hello world!" << endl; cin.get(); return 0; } </code></pre> <hr> <ul> <li><strong>getch()</strong></li> </ul> <p>Just don't forget to add the library conio.h :</p> <pre><code>#include <iostream> #include <conio.h> //for using the function getch() using namespace std; int main(void) { cout << "Hello world!" << endl; getch(); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>You can have message telling you to use _getch() insted of getch</p>
