As the question states, by what means can I make a message to stay on the screen?
Except :
-cin.get();
-cin.ignore();
-cin.sync();
-system("PAUSE");
Also, sleep doesn't work with my compiler(Code::Blocks 10.05 with MinGW and Ms Visual Studio 2008), when I even include the conio header file.
AFAIK sleep() is not in conio
There is a Sleep() in Windows.h, and a sleep() in unistd.h
However they just block your program for a time. If you don't want for the message to disappear just don't erase it.
purposely misunderstanding the thread
