(Without typing using namespace std \\At the top
std::cout << "Press enter to exit";
std::cin.ignore(std::cin.rdbuf()->in_avail + 1);
return 0;

2:
(Typing using namespace std \\At the top
cout << "Press enter to exit";
cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail + 1)
return 0;

3:
#include <cstdio> \\At the top
cout << "Press enter to exit";
getchar();
return 0;

Someone please help! I seem to have tried everything! If anyone knows dev-c++, could you give me a sure fire way of keeping the output window open! Thank you!

(And thanks to the guys or gals who have already suggest ways to help!)

I am new too C++ but try this at the end of code in main before return statement system("pause"); this should work as it has been doing so for me for some time, but i find it does not work with the old style header files meaning the .h files and namespace. also dev appears not like cstidio or cstring instead replace without the C

system("pause");
return 0;

Its simple. Use getch() to hold the screen. You must include the conio.h header file when using getch(). You place it at the end of your code just before the return statement in main().
See below for demo:

 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
      cout << "hello world";
      getch();
      return 0;
}
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
int main()
{
      cout << "hello world";
      getch();
      return 0;
}

This thread is over three years old. conio.h is non-standard. cin.get () is standard. See this thread for how to keep the command window open.
