Problem

[lena2383]

Hi guys I am new to the C++ programming but I am learning it, some of it anyway. Problem when I excute my program it will automatically return back to the coding. I don't get to see my results. WHY

I thank you in advance

I think this will do it for you. You'll need to see which include has PAUSE in it.

int main()
{
... put this right after your results are displayed
system("PAUSE");
... press a key to continue (back to your code)
}

Or compile it in your IDE but run it from a command line.

here is my code and were I put the system Pause

//T3AppE02.cpp - calculates and displays the new weekly pay

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
//declare variables
float currentPay = 0.0;
float rate = 0.0;
float raise = 0.0;
float newPay = 0.0;


//enter input items
cout << "Enter current weekly pay: ";
cin >> currentPay;
cout << "Enter raise rate: ";
cin >> rate;

//calculate raise and new pay
raise = currentPay * rate;
newPay = raise + currentPay;


//display output item
cout << "New pay: " << newPay << endl;

sysrem ("Pause");
return 0;
} //end of main function

You need to include the cstdlib file at the top
#include <cstdlib>

C++ is case sensitive. The command needs to be:

system("PAUSE");

That's not a very good way because it's system dependant. Better not to move outside C++, and do something like

Code: Select all

cout << "Press any key";
cin.get();

Then you don't need to include cstdlib either. system is a legacy function from the old times of C...
