Hey its been a long time since I visited this site maybe more than 2 years! anyways I registered structured programing CSC201 & one of the first things we learn is to make decision making code like addition subtraction etc.

anyways i'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 express edition

I clicked new project named it "TEST" anyways I clicked win32 console application & I disabled precompiled header.

& I have written this code that is in the book in page 91

// test.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
	int number1;
	int number2;

		cout<<"enter two integers two compare:";
		cin>>number1>>number2;

		if (number1==number2)
			cout<<number1<<"=="<<number2<<endl;
		
		if (number1 !=number2)
			cout<<number1<<"!="<<number2<<endl;
		if (number1 < number2)
			cout<<number1<<"<"<<number2<<endl;
		if (number1 >= number2)
			cout<<number1<<">="<<number2<<endl;

}

In the book its looks as if it worked fine without errors but when I run the code it says there are errors do you want to continue I click yes.

After that I type 2 random numbers & then the console disappears!!!!!!!!!

I wrote exactly what the book said what did I miss?

You could put another cin at the bottom to stop VS from closing the console when the program finishes, or you could put break points in. I use XCode, so I don't know the other methods to control VS.

You forgot this:

return 0;

Although if you want to halt the screen you could write this before the return 0 statement at the end:

cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail()+1);

it worked adding

cin.ignore(cin.rdbuf()->in_avail()+1);
 return 0;

to my code made it work thanks aaa111

Nice trick, you're one of the few people I see using a proper cross-platform "pause" equivalent.
