Preventing console window from closing on Visual Studio C/C++ Console application

Answer 1

You could run your executable from a command prompt. This way you could see all the output. Or, you could do something like this:

int a = 0;
scanf("%d",&a);

return YOUR_MAIN_CODE;

and this way the window would not close until you enter data for the a variable.
