Question

When I execute this program in debug mode, the console screen may appear and disappear

before I have an opportunity to view the output. How do I keep this from happening?

C++ code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void main()

{

            cout << "John Doe ticket program ";

            int childTkts, adultTkts, totalTkts;

            cout << "Please enter the number of child tickets:";

            cin >> childTkts;

            cout << "Please enter the number of adult tickets:";

            cin >> adultTkts;

            totalTkts = childTkts + adultTkts;

            cout << "The total tickets are: "<<totalTkts << endl;

}

Explanation / Answer

You can run the application in debug mode and in release mode. Normally Ctrl + F5 will run the application without debugger. And F5just runs the application.

If you do Ctrl+F5 ("Start without Debugging"), the console remains open at the end and asks you to Press any key to continue . . . here you can see the output.

If you are just using F5 then you are in a debug mode. At the end you add, getchar() function before retuen 0;so the console will wait until you press any key...

Hope this will help
