I think cin.get() is sufficient.

I disagree. Since this is posted under C & C++, & I prefer to write in C, the cin function does us C coders no good.

I still say the best way is to run your code form the command line itself, therefor you don't need all this tacky code to eat up extra cpu usage just for visual verification of standard out. If you want to read standard out, launch your program where it can utilize standard out

Is it not implied that cin only applies to C++? I guess beginners wouldn't know this, but most others should. If it makes you happy, I will modify my original statement: cin.get() is sufficient in C++.

I dont know why everybody trys to disagree with everyones method, obviously cin.get() along with clearing the buffer before works like a champ, any other way is just making being stuborn. If it is really that big of an issue then just run it from the dos window #2pencil said. But I agree cin.get() is the most sufficent way of doing the increditable task of pausing the dos window lol

Let me say i agree that cin.get() is the best way to go.

And that this is a really weird thread.

ok.....?
would it be posible to know what you wrote?

*in mocking tone* umm...how come I can't see my program thingy???
This is really one of the most elementary parts of programming in general - being able to see your program run and finish.

As someone who is just learning C++, all I wanted to do was hold the window open long enough to see my work after executing it. Before it opened and closed so fast you couldn't tell if anything was there.

I could see how in other programs pausing it would be a hinderance. But for a beginner I found this to be very useful. Thanks!
