hi guys
I'm a real beginner at programing and just programmed "Hello world" with dev c++. I had to switch to Dev as Borland wasn't working for me.
now I cont get the hello world program to open!It compiled OK with 0 errors but it just dosen't open when I double click the .exe file.(opens fine then I cal it with command prompt.)

what should I do to get the exe file to open with out calling it with command prompt?

I really need to get started with programming.
so some one please please help me!!!!!
thanks!

From what i gather you made a program like this one:

// Hello World
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
  cout<< "Hello World";
      << endl;
  return 0;
}


you need to replace the:
return 0;
with something like:
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;

I am also new at C++.. i have been going threw Ivor Horton's Beginning C++ book.. its not mentioned in there at the beginning when you make simple programs like this... i got it from when you make a new project in Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 it automatically adds some lines of code that you would normally delete and start from the blank slate..
