C++ Press any key to continue

When I write some console application in Bloodshed Dev C++ or Visual Studio, I hate bringing up comand line and typing in the whole path to the program I’ve just written. I found two short ways of having “Press any key to continue…” before the console window disappears. One of them is a good one and the other is bad.

1. Good one

int main()

cout<<"Press Enter to continue...";
cin.get();
}


Well, this one really is “Press Enter to continue…”, which shouldn’t be a problem

2. Bad one

int main()
{

system.("PAUSE");
}

This one is very bad! If you want to know why, read this article:
