Or, just run your program by opening cmd and then navigating to where your actual .exe file is.

A thing I use in all my programs:

#include <iostream>
#include </*whatever you need*/>

using namespace std;


void pause(); //this

int main()
{
    //your program

    pause();

    return 0;
}

void pause()
{
    cout << "\n\nPress ENTER to continue...";
    cin.sync();
    cin.get();
    cout << "\n\n";

    return;
}

Hope this helps :)
