Hi Natalie,

I'm not in JHB but maybe I can still help you. What are you having trouble with?

Hi there!!!

At the moment Im at work, not in front of my computer, let me try to explain what happens to me....
I type the entire code in, I click on compile, the little box comes up, and says done, but when I want to run it the black box keeps disappearing. What do you think it could be??

Thanks for being so helpful...

Thanks!!!

Ha.. same prob (i think) to what I had.
Firstly, are you sure it's compiling?
But... if you're seeing the black box flash it means that it's running and closing.

Best thing to do is look at the thread Close on Exit (4th from top of this forum) that should give you all your configuration settings.

Also, seeing that you're running out of time, if you find that that is taking too long or not working, insert:

system("pause";

just above your line:

return 0;

at the end of your code.

What that does is before closing the console it displays "Press any key to continue. . ." which is basically the same result as all the configuration changes you'll need to make.

Hope this helps, and hope you get through the work in time.

Good luck

Thanks!!
I will try that tonight.
I really really hope it works.

Thank you so much for you helpfulness!!

Its greatly appreciated!

Have a good day further!

Hey there,

Also check where you have compiled your work too... I had similar problems in the beginning where my compiler did not want to run my program... Found that if you're saving to a file with a space in the name it doesn't work... e.g c:/my_documents - not a good idea... try something like c:/cprograms ... or something like that
