So lets say I build a simple program.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string name;
cout << "Please enter your name!" << endl;
cin >> name;
cout << "Thank you for inputting your name. We will help you shortly." << endl;
return 0;
}

It always blows right past the code simply showing it for milliseconds and then it closes the application. I need to know a simple code that will allow the user to press "Q" to quit the program. I have been looking and looking but I have not found it.
I have never made an actual C++ program before so bare with me.

Thanks guys!

char x = cin.getch();
if(x == 'q')
    return 0;


Sorry for previous answer.

You need to have some form of user input at the end of the program, or else it will do just that. That way, the user can press a key and it will finish running the program.

That's what you need AWL! I programme.

It's difficult at first, but as soon as you

put years of practise into it, you won't need our help.

Good luck on your programme, have a brilliant day!
Thanks man! I have a lot of great ideas coming up for my geometry class. Maybe a little cheating program? This is going to be fun!

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
   string a;
   getInput(cin, a); // places input in a
   cout << a;
   return 0;
}
