I would like to learn C++, Everytime I write the code or should I say copy the code down, I get to where I want to compile but cannot get the program started. Can any one help by explaining how after I copy the code the steps from then on. Thank you in advance.

If you compile it and it won't run maybe try adding system("PAUSE"); at the end of your code (right before return 0. This will only work on Windows and isn't portable.

Instead use this:

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail());
cin.get();

cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail()); cin.get();
