    Problem with adding numbers

    Hey, I'm trying to write a very simple program to add up numbers, but after I enter the second number the program finishes. Here is the code:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        int num1, num2, total;
        
        cout <<"Enter the first number: ";
        cin >> num1;
        cout <<"Enter the second number :";
        cin >> num2;
        total = num1 + num2;
        cout <<"The total is :" << total << endl;
        cin.get();
        return 0;
    }
    it seems to ignore the cin.get function. Can anyone help please? I'm using Dev-C++ 5 beta. Thanks in advance.

    -Pinny.

    we've had several posts about this very issue recently. You can scroll down the thread list and find a more detailed answer, but the bottom line is that you need to add a certain input statement that causes the program to wait until the user presses a key. Something like
    char c;
    cin>>c; before the last line in main() would do the trick.

    Try this
    cin.ignore(10000,'\n');
    cin.get();
