well many many people in c++ use System("PAUSE") or w/e to halt there program until you press a key, heres why you shouldn't use it...

it only works on windows or dos

you have to link to another header (stdio.h) instead of a native iostream.h code

so use this function now, i like it more

cin.get();

this requires no more linking and doesnt call the OS

it waits until return is pressed then continues the program Very Happy

_getch() best emulates system("PAUSE") because it returns after one keypress

cin.get() ftw...

it helps if you put

cin.ignore();

in the line before it, i was running into issues with it skipping cin.get() after i entered a value

system("pause") doesnt require stdio...... it only requires iostream....

system("pause>nul") is basically the same thing as _getch() but it requires stdlib.h

the rest are all good....

But using system(XXX); is not safe.
