ok, i have Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler and im learning the basics for C++, but im unsure of how to compile exactly

when i run the program it flashes a black command box for a second that I think is my program but it disappears too quick for me to read it, what am I doing wrong?

Try putting "system("pause");" at the end of main()

Your_Health = (My_Mood == HAPPY) ? 100 : NULL;

ok with or without the quotes?

ordinarily that would be a stupid question but since you've got 2 sets of quotes there it confuses me

Sorry, without the quotes around the line.

Just this:


Your_Health = (My_Mood == HAPPY) ? 100 : NULL;

I don't think so. Did you try it yet?

Your_Health = (My_Mood == HAPPY) ? 100 : NULL;

Note: system(); sends a message to the command prompt window your program is working in. So you could use system("calc.exe"); to run calculator or system("cls"); to clear the screen, etc...

If you want to be able to run your program on other operating systems, you cannot use system("pause") since it is a Windows-specific command. I use this function:

You need to include the file <iostream> with your program (you need this anyways for placing output text into the command window) and to be using the std namespace (using namespace std;). If you want, you could place std:: infront of every cin. command in the function.

Wait... What were we talking about?
