C++ beginner, execution window disappears quickly

I am beginner at C programming. But when I compile the programm, a problem occurs. The compiler create a .exe for the program, but when I open it, it appears and disappears in a second.

This error can be stopped by adding

SYSTEM("PAUSE");

at end of the program. But it will create a

press any key to continue

at the end of program. What is the error of mine? Why the program appears and disappears in a hurry?

How do I stop it without adding the system() function? I’m using the GCC compiler.

Answer 1

That isn’t an error. The program will terminate after finishing the code you programmed. If you want to input something try scanf for instance.
