1.You should use Sleep(10000); ==> wait for 10 seconds

2.Or your could wait until a key is pressed, by using getch();

You probably mean Sleep(10000), not Sleep (1000) ;-)

You right, I missed a zero!
But the idea is to use Sleep method.

Can't you just run your program from the commandline instead of double-clicking the executable? This is how it works on linux...

On Windows use Sleep[^], on Linux, sleep[^].
