When using Visual C++ the program flashes and goes away, even thought I use code to keep it open?

I use;





#include "stdafx.h"


#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





using namespace std;





int main(void)


{


cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello World";


printf("Press any key to disappear this program\n");


getchar();


return 0;


}





And it just flashes and disappears?

Try this:


while(!getchar())


{


//pause the thread


this.sleep(5000);


}


in place of getchar();


make sure getchar() is a boolean function that returns true if char is there or false otherwise
Reply:try getch() instead of getchar()





It's in the conio.h librabry.
