Well, Ive got a problem, when I type a program, simple or otherwise, Dev-C++ doesn''t want to run it. It compiles A-ok but, when I press the ''run'' button, a DOS screen flashes up and then goes away, and I cant even tell it my cout is even displayed... Someone help please, my good programming buddy said it was something that Windows stopped putting in its OSs that C++ needs to run. Can anyone confirm this? Any help is appreciated. Sample text...
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int length; //this declares a variable
length = 7; // this assigns 7 to length
cout << "The length is ";
cout << length; //this displays 7
return 0;
}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This does not work for me, the same dang flashing screen... Help!
