msdos box Disappears after Running.

[Engalde]

In Bloodshed Dev-C++ When I compile and test run the msdos box will appear only for split second and disappear. So I have go into in manually and use the
cd \ gotto directory commands and luanch it.

is there a way to fix this?

I think you can just put getch(); at the end of your program.

the command prompt kills itself once the script is done executing. add in a line to get a key stroke or something:

cin.get();

ah good idea. This works.( noob style) Declare a variable
int something;
scanf ("something");

or you can just use getchar();

(getch() doesn't block)

I myself like

#include <conioh>
getch();
return 0;

but if you want you can also do

while( !kbhit() );
return 0;

that still won't keep the console from closing
use getchar()

You can always use the very ugly

system("PAUSE");

but that is VERY ugly, you will see why

Doesn't really matter for me anyways, I compile and run my programs from an active console, not inside the IDE, anyways. So even when the program ends, my console is still open.
Although this screenshot is java, it follows the same principle.
