Also debugging (F5) it produces a screen which disappears within a sec.

It sounds like your program is actually running. Although, you should change the "/n" to a "
" in your printf.

anonymous · Answer

yea.. but the output screen doesn't stays for me to input values and see results...

farmdawgnation · Answer

Ah, right, so that's because you don't have any functions that take input... hold on one sec....

Look at this: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/gets/ :)

anonymous · Answer

so can you please write a simple c++ program which I may copy paste that give results...

farmdawgnation · Answer

Well, I'll show you an example program. So gets() reads a string from the input. So you'll want to provide some sort of prompt with printf. So,

printf("Enter a number: ");

Then you'll want to retrieve a number with gets...

char number[5];
gets( &number );

Then you'll want to change that to an integer, which should look something like...

int numberInteger = atoi(number)

You'll still have some stuff to fill in, but after it's a number you'll be able to use it in calculations. Make sense?

This is the error message I get at the end of output The program '[5700] 55.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0). in both situations.

farmdawgnation · Answer

The code I provided doesn't do everything you need it to do. You need to take the pieces I gave you and stitch them into your program.

anonymous · Answer

yes, I did and with several other programs which do run on TC compiler...

farmdawgnation · Answer

Well, exited with code 0 means the program quit normally. I don't know what else to say. I'm not much use with the Visual Studio world. I exist mostly in the GCC world.
