sorry i was quite sh*tfaced yesterday when i wrote that. do it, you won't lose anything from trying

why won't you search for the program name, to see where it has been compiled? (i never worked in devc++) then you will be able to run the program via running cmd, so it doesn't close automatically

i think there were also options about this closing cmd after program in windows

I think it just compiles it to the memory and runs it from there. You need to build it to create an EXE.

ANYWAYs, while i figure this out, ima also make more codes.

You need a wait command like system("pause");

Exactly what I said just after he had that problem.

Quick thought, why not get yourself visual studio - might save you time setting up your compiler and all.

I think that #include<cstdlib> is better for C++ if you're using system() order.
Or you can do the old trick with
char z;
cin >> z;
on the end of the program, you can probably guess how that one works...

Very cunning... although, if you really want to, you could add:

cout << "Press enter to continue..."

[sofl]

you can also use the getch() function

#include <conio.h>

int main()
{
...
cout<<"press any key";
getch();
return 0;
}

you can also use
...
cin.get();
return 0;
}

that did the work for me..
