When compiling c++ (hello world) the command prompt, immediately shuts down. How can i stop this?

when processing any routine, be it .bat, .exe, .com the CMD is invoked, (C++, Perl, etc..) after execution, the code finishes, then closes the command prompt window since it was not run natively. To avoid this, first open a command prompt window and run your code from there :)

Can you provide more details? Do you get any error messages? What compiler are you using? And what OS and command line terminal?

try running the command line first by typing cmd in the run box in the start menu then try to run your program for it.

An easy way to do this is making your program waiting for input,that is using

cin>> i;

as last line of your program. ( Here i must be declared earlier)

everywhere you position your source record, cd to that director. make sure c:mingw is on your %route% variable and form gcc -o software software.c or g++ -o software software.cpp. it truly is all you should do. You convey jointly from whichever listing your source record is in.
