they use system ("pause") because it tells you exactly where to implement your command. but if you use
#include <conio.h_> you will only be abel to do it for the whole program. So to sum it up, it will allow you to be more specific and exact about where you want to place your pause.

Not only are you wrong, but you are encouraging the use of a platform specific C library instead of using some bog standard C++. system("pause") is bad practice. using conio is even worse practice.

md is correct, and if you want more detials read the first two pages.
