Borland C++

[techteen143]

I have an install of Borland C++ 5.01 and the program runs fine untill I try to run my programs. It compiles and then there is a blank screen that closes itself. In the lower taskbar it says "Process terminated: C:\BC5\Bin\.... I am running win xp pro on a P4 board , could this be a cause?
Thanks

check event viewer, every great once in awhile an error is actually logged there

I've also seen a bug in a program crash a compiler as well, so that is something to think about as well.
Do you use any pointers or anything that may violate some memory space it shouldn't?

[techteen143]

Nothing and it is just a test program

#include <iostream.h>
int main(void)
{
cout << "Test" << endl;
return 0;
}

Had this problem before but don't know what causes it. Could it be something about XP?

It is probably just running and closing.

This used to happen to use back in High school. Try putting a getch(); in there to make it wait for a key stroke. Eitehr that or take some input. Should stay open then.

And welcome to Techimo

dangit, jkrohn beat me!!

Ya I had the "run & exit before you see it" thing happen when I did c++ in win98, but in 2k it doesn't do it to me...

we got around it with this little change: (jkrohn's method works just as well too btw, and without having to include a second library ...)

#include <iostream.h> 
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) 
{ 
    cout << "Test" << endl; 
    system("pause");
    return 0; 
}

cheers!

and yes, welcome to Techimo!!

Edit: btw, I'm using Visual Studio, not Boroland, so my suggestion may or may not work... should work tho...

[techteen143]

Thanx It works fine when I take input.

oh, also, "cls" - (clearscreen)
I believe borland already has a method for this, but if your ever working with command-line apps in VS C++ and need to clear the screen, system("cls") works nicely...

was gonna mention it in my other post, but forgot...

actually, I think you can do pretty much anything with system() that you can do in a dos prompt... just don't forget to include stdlib for it...

anywho... cheers!!

ohhhh
I thought he meant it was crashing the entire compiler

[techteen143]

I have it working now however whenever I hit enter after inputing something it closes, like in this program:

#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
int num1;
cout << "Enter a integer to be determined wheather it is divisible by 27 or 31";
cin >> num1;
if(num1 % 27 == 0) & & (num1 % 31 == 0)
if(num1 % 27 == 0);
cout << "The integer is divisible by 27";
if(num1 % 31 == 0);
cout << "The integer is divisible by 31";
cout << "The integer is divisible by both 27 and 31";
else
cout << "The integer is not divisible by 27 or 31";
return 0;
}

And also I am getting an error for the red line of code "must take address of a memory location" HELP and also how can I get it to display only one of those when it is true. Now if something is divisible by 27 and 31 it prints all three lines. Thanks

[techteen143]

sorry messed up the code


#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
int num1;
cout << "Enter a integer to be determined wheather it is divisible by 27 or 31";
cin >> num1;
if(num1 % 27 == 0);
cout << "The integer is divisible by 27";
if(num1 % 31 == 0);
cout << "The integer is divisible by 31";
if(num1 % 27 == 0) & & (num1 % 31 == 0)
cout << "The integer is divisible by both 27 and 31";
else
cout << "The integer is not divisible by 27 or 31";
return 0;
}
