C???

[Jesus Claus]

When I compile and run something in C the window just shows up and closes really fast. I have windows xp. Any ideas on how to stop this? Also on my friends computer it dosent close it runs fine on his. Thanks.

add a break point on the last line of your code, or run it from the command line directly. (start...run...cmd) or add something like sleep(1000*30) right before you return from main.

Ok a simple answer is, either add a getch() at the end of your code which is included in the conio.h library. If your compiler doesn't support that a more universal way is to make a variable x at the top and have an input of x at the bottom. So it will pause and wait for you to enter a value for x then exit.

goto Start->Run and type 'command'

Then navigate to your folder with the .exe in it and type the exe's file name. This'll run it in this command window and not close.
