That's because it's done. It printed the message and found nothing else to do, so the process that spawned the window terminates and the window goes bye-bye as well. To get around that and still run from the IDE, you can pause for input:
CODE
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout<<"Hello World!\n";
std::cout<<"Press Enter to continue . . \n";
std::cin.get();
}
A cleaner way to do it is thus:
CODE
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
cout << "Press any key to continue..." << endl;
cin.get();
return 0;
}
Note the use of "using namespace std;" under the #include, it means you don't have to to put std:: in front of everything.
