Thread Solved |
Hi all, ok i have just started learning C++ today and i have download "Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition" and i am trying to make the "Hello World" program. I clicked on "Create Project" and then "Win32 Console Application" and then typed in the name "Hello World" then i right clicked on "Source Files" then "Add New Item" and then ".cpp" and typed in "Hello World" then i wrote into the big black page...
And then i clicked on "Build" then "Build Solution" then i clicked the green arrow "Start Debugging"
Then ERROR... The black command prompt screen shows up for about 1 second and disapears before i can even read the writing.
Please help... Thanks for comments

you have to add something before the return 0 to make the program stop. like this:
There are several other ways to do it too -- all of them are correct.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World! ";
cout << "I'm a C++ program";
cin.get();
return 0;
}There are several other ways to do it too -- all of them are correct.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

If you're on windows, a common way to do it is
system("PAUSE"); . It gives a prompt like "Press any key to continue..." I'm a student. If my statements seem too absolute, feel free to coat them with "In my opinion..." or "I believe...".
Very fast responces and very helpful •

Interesting, thank you for the advice, also i have another question, whenever you make a program in c++ visual 2008 does the program always appear in command prompt?

and a console window still came up. I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent that. If you use WinMain() and create a window with the Windows API:

Try putting this inbetween the parenthisis of the 'int main()'
int main(int argc, char*argv[])
and on a line inbetween 'return 0;' and the string, put...
system("PAUSE");
And that should help your problems.
