The problem is that after your program runs and finishes the window closes. 

There are two solutions; the bad one is to add a delay to the end of your program (usually by reading some input). The other option is to open a comand promt and run your program from the command line.

o thanks! 
but in school, i tried this on c-free and it always gave a "press any button to continue..." at the end of the program. is there anyway that i can do that too?

Add this to the end of main():

[syntax="c++"]
string a;
cout > a;
[/syntax]

I haven't tried it and I am fairly new to c++, so there may be a better way.

That would work, assuming you are using namespace std; Generally speaking it's a poor idea to do that though, so it would be std::string, std::cout and std::cin.

Thanks, that's good to know. Another reason to love c++ :roll:
