Windows goes away quickly

[Mayank23]

can someone help me, each time i send my friend a program he says tht the windows goes away once he enters something.
please help.

Is he running the code from the command line by typing it in, or by double-clicking it in some kind of file browser?

[Mayank23]

i give him to him by a download link, its a .exe file then he double clicks on it and runs it, but then the program just goes away quickly.

If he runs it from a shell, any error message will remain on screen and then he can tell you the error and you can fix it.

>>i give him to him by a download link, its a .exe file then he double clicks on it and runs it, but then the program just goes away quickly.

But what kind of program is it? If it's a console program, once the program exits, with or without an error, the window will be gone. You either need to change th console program so it pauses...

or he needs to run it from a console window (i.e. NOT by double-clicking it).

Lol... your code is most likely missing a system("pause");

This is generally frowned upon.

But it will work. just be aware of the risks/drawbacks.

Lol... I know the risks, I use Sleep(); from the window.h header. In this case it will work just fine.
