    copied!<p>Before you start wasting your time on me, please keep in mind that this question is more about knowing if this shutdown is legit enough.</p> <p>Alright.</p> <p>I read all kinds of ways to shut down a program. I KNOW that it's always best to shut down the program, at the end! So as i said, i read all kinds of topics, but i couldn't really find one that i understood correctly. So i kinda came up with my own way. I just want to make sure it's an okay method.</p> <pre><code>int main() { cout &lt;&lt; "Welcome to my fantastic program!" &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "You're the first one to experience my command program!" &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "Let's try with a simple command. Try typing help" &lt;&lt; endl; while (running == 1) { commands(); if (running == 0) { exit(0); } } return 0; } </code></pre> <p>So i want you to focus on the while loop. This is my method.</p> <pre><code>void commands() { cin &gt;&gt; command; if (command == "help") { cout &lt;&lt; "-------------------------------" &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "-this is the &lt;HELP&gt; section----" &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "-exit (exits the program.)" &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "-Stay tuned for more commands--" &lt;&lt; endl; cout &lt;&lt; "-------------------------------" &lt;&lt; endl; } else if (command == "exit") { running = 0; } else { cout &lt;&lt; "The command does not exist: " &lt;&lt; command &lt;&lt; endl; } } </code></pre> <p>And this is my command function. As you see, this changes "running" to 0 (or false). I hope i made this understandable enough. </p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>EDIT: All i want to know is, if this is an okay method :)</p> <p>FINAL EDIT: Alright! I changed "exit(0);" to "return(0);". So i guess this is a okay good method! Thanks for your help! :)</p>
