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()

{

// do something

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()

{

// do something

system.(“PAUSE”);
}

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

#include <ctime>

void delay(int n)
{
clock_t start_time, cur_time; start_time = clock(); while((clock() – start_time) < n * CLOCKS_PER_SEC)
{}
}

int main()
{
// do something
delay(5);
// delays 5 seconds
}

I wrote this little function which converts integer type variable to string. Always very handy!

#include <sstream>

string toString(int n)
{
string str;
stringstream out;
out<
return str = out.str();
}
