DEV C++ Compiler Question??

Question

Okay, so I'm a super beginner at Computer Science. I downloaded the 4.9.9.2 version of the DEV C++ compiler today, but when I put a simple program in, namely:

#include

main()
{
printf("This is a C program\n");
}

, it doesn't execute when I click compile and run. A black box flashes on the screen and disappears when I click this, however. Can someone help me? >.<

Answer 1

Interestingly enough the same problem happens to me. It is because you haven't told the system to pause and let the user read the output. I an not that fluent in C++ so you would have to consult a C++ coder for help on pausing. It is something like:

system("Pause");

Answer 2

It probably is working. That black box _is_ the program, but it only opens really quick to execute and then closes. Go to your Command Prompt and go to the directory that you have your file and open it through that.

Answer 3

#include



main()

{

printf("This is a C program\n");

system("pause");

return 0;

}



this will pause the screen and stop it from disappearing

Answer 4

gadget is working an OS command called 'Pause'. i think of gadget might desire to be in stdlib.h. attempt which contain that. yet extra importantly, is there a command called 'Pause' on your laptop that your C++ application can run?
