C programming problem

[Mechanicus]

When I run a C program, it exits the program immediately after, without any chance to see the result. Is this normal, and do I have to add in a line extra or something?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but if it was I couldn't find it.

Thanks in advance!

You're tlking about Console Applications right?

I have the same problem using visual studio. I'd also be interested in a solution.

I don't know what that is, but I meant the programming language C. I'm not sure if they are the same, as I've only just started learning this sort of thing.

run the application from the command line (cmd.exe)

Or add the equivalent of a getch to the end of the program.

While still on the subject of C, what does 'SEP' mean and what is a parse error?

system("PAUSE");

Why would you want to put them in the system32 folder? Why not just cd to the correct directory.
