Pausing Execution

[yaisiel]

Hi,

How could I pause (or freeze) a console after program execution?
I was trying to use system("PAUSE") (using std namespace), but it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help,
Yaisiel

It's usually a good idea to state what language you are using when you ask a question like this. :)

You mention "std namespace"; are you asking about C++?

Can you be bothered to give more information? (Language you're using, OS you're using (pause is not available in Linux AFAIK) or what are you specifically trying to do)
I assume you're using C++, do you want to do something like:


#include <iostream>

int main(){
std::cout<< "Stuff is good to have...\n";
sleep(5); //talking about this?
std::cout<< "...although 5 seconds later you'll lose it.\n";
std::cin.get(); //or this?
}
