How to prevent output screen from disappear in Visual Studio 2013 C++ Compiler

Question

I just downloaded Visual Studio 2013. When I compile C, it doesn\'t show me my output. The output screen will show up for a brief second and then disappears.

Answer 1

There's several things you can do (I'm assuming you're using Windows):

1. Compile and execute your program using the Visual Studio Command Prompt program.
2. Add getchar(); before returning to the OS.
3. Add system("pause"); before returning to the OS.
