Hi I’m a beginner working on this simple program it does work only I can’t see it. It ends too fast it ask the first two questions but when I do the input it shuts down immediately,
So my question is how do you keep it from shutting down automatically

- C Program

#include <stdio.h>
main ()
{
     int a, b, Q, R;
     printf("Give the first whole number: ");
     scanf("%d", &a);
     printf("Give the second whole number: ");
     scanf("%d", &b);
     Q = a/b;
     R = a%b;
     printf("The quotient is: %d\n", Q);
     printf("The rest is: %d\n", R);
     return 0;
}

ah thnx that was a very simple solution

[dargueta]

Or you could just do the following:

#include <conio.h>

//...other includes...


int main(void)

{

 //... other code

printf("Press any key...");

_getch();

return 0;

}

By the way, make sure to declare your main as returning an int.

If you are not using windows the above suggestion might not work since conio.h is not a standard c header in which case u can simply use

#include <stdio.h>//no need for any extra header
int main()
{
 //... other code
printf("Press any key...");
getchar();
return 0;
}

You can just add system("pause") OR getchar() at the end of the program to stop it from shutting down immediately. But some compilers will quit immediately even if you add getchar() at the end.

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()

{

     //other code...

     printf("The rest is: %d\n", R);

     system ("pause");

     return 0;

}

OR

#include <stdio.h>

int main ()

{

     //other code...

     printf("The rest is: %d\n", R);

     getchar();

     return 0;

}

But, system("pause") might not work with all OSs...

[Dr.NoOne]

it works for me. this helps me out greatly, got a lot of similar problems with other stuff I wrote

[marwex89]

Good to hear :D

[Fcuknutts]

this really helped out ,, ! thanks..

[Fcuknutts]

but ive tried it on this one ,, it isnt workin,,
niether [ getcha ();] nor [ system("pause")]

here is the skript:

Quote

#include <stdio>
main ()
{
int a=10, b=5;
printf("%d\n",a+b);
printf("%d\n",a-b);
printf("%d\n",a*b);
printf("%d\n",a/b);
printf("%d\n",a%b);
getchar();
return 0;
}

Try this - I fixed the include (its stdio.h not stdio), and made the main function return an int. I haven't tested it but it should be valid and work.

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
int a=10, b=5;
printf("%d\n",a+b);
printf("%d\n",a-b);
printf("%d\n",a*b);
printf("%d\n",a/b);
printf("%d\n",a%b);
getchar();
return 0;
}
