How do I compile+BUILD+Run? Program flashes.

Hi!

I am having an issue trying to run my program. Once I run, the black screen
"cout" stuff just flashes and then goes away. I can hardly see what I was
running.

I have the following code I physically typed in:

#include <iostream.h> //yes I know its old the .h but the program doesn't run even when i take it off.

main()
{
      cout << "Hello.";
      return (0);
}

I usually use Visual Studio 6 (at school) but I can't find the "Build" button
here. I am just learning so don't know the phrase of equivalency that Dev
might be using. I have tried Compile + Run, and "Compile & Run" but neither
work. I can do it with VS6 so not sure what' up.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Add this just before the return:
system("pause");

Thanks jimp03! Is there a way to not have to do that, like with Visual Studio
6? (I just build, I think.)

Also now that I have got that taken care of, does anyone know how to find my
errors WITHIN the source code? I try double-clicking the errors within
"compile log" but it doesn't highlight source code (as far as I know) like in
VS6. So its hard to know where exactly to change...

Hi nvm about the errors, I guess they are just in "Compiler." I was working
within a project and I guess it was linking to some bad code and not rendering
(or whatever) properly. I made a new source file outside of the project and
that fixed it.

It's annoying sometimes to have something not work just because of a little
mistake on the code. Happens to me so many times (and I'm talking about basic
stuff).

Add these 2 lines before return statement:
char response;
std:cin >> response;

I think system("pause"); does the same thing.

Sorry, system("pause"); gives you "Press any key to continue..."
