Pausing Your code (Examples included)

[mikester44]

So here is a problem i'm facing. And i researched it a little bit but probably not enough.

When you run a simple program in visual C++ 2010 it will run straight through and close like after about half a second.

Now some of the fixes i found all have problems.
For example, System("pause") This is very bad i was told because of the security problems with it. But it does work in just one line.

Next example is the cin.get(); This is okay but when you have a long program you have to insert it three or more times to get the pause your looking for at the end of the program.

Next example is where you set a integer at the begining of the program and at the end you do something like
cout << "Enter a number to continue....";
cin << (Variable you make a int.)

All of these seem a just bit over the edge when C++ can simplify so many things. Any suggestions on which one would work the best? Or is there one i dont know about that may be better then all of the above. Thank you.

1) Remove any code that pauses your program
2) Right click on your project, go to Properties
3) Go in "Configuration Properties" -> "Linker" -> "System"
4) Change the "SubSystem" setting to "Console"
5) Hit "OK"
6) Rebuild your program
7) Run the program with Ctrl+F5 (or with "Start without Debugging" from the Debug menu)
