How to stop C++ console application from exiting immediately?

Forgive me for my rather extreme newbie-ness in the field of C++ but here goes. 🙂

When I run say for example this code in a terminal:

int g;
cout << "Please enter an integer value: ";
cin >> g;
cout << "The value you entered is " << g;

…to you C++ experts out there, obviously this accepts a value from the user’s input and then displays in the output. However, right after I “submit” my input and click enter, I see the output for a mere millisecond and then the terminal closes. Anyway I could stop the terminal from closing so I could actually have a chance to see the result?

I’m using Visual Studio on Windows 7.

Thanks!

If you’re working on Windows, you can add the line system(“pause”); at the end of the program.
Or cin.get() if on Linux
