Question about compiling

[someguy123]

so I just started C++ and i am currently using dev-c++, ya so i just copy paste the helloworld code onto it and i compile and run, the DOS window just flashes and nothing is outputed.. just wondering why is this and how i could fix this problem, thx in advance

There's no problem, that's exactly what it's supposed to do, it executes the code, then closes the window when it's finished. Instead, I'd suggest not using Dev-C++, and instead using a simple text editor and a command-line compiler to compile and run your code. I suggest you take a look at Gandalf's excellent thread in the C++ tutorials section on the subject.

lol. That's the first thing every c++ programmer asks.
