Description:

How can I create a console application using C++Builder?

Answer/Solution:

Step-by-step instructions on creating a new console application in C++Builder are as follows:

**

Select File | New | Other...

**

Click the New tab, select Console Wizard, and hit OK

**

Specify the appropriate Source Type (either C or C++), check Console Application, and hit OK

**

Enter your code into the code editor (you may either use the existing stub code or delete it all and start from scratch)

**

Hit F9 to build and run your program

Note that, by default, console applications close immediately after executing.� So, to keep your console application's output onscreen after it runs, you may need to tell it to wait for a keystroke before closing.� To do this, you can #include the header file conio.h and then call the getch() function just before your main() function returns, like so:

//--------------------
#include
#include

int main()
{
���� cout << "Hello\n";
���� getch();
���� return 0;
}
//--------------------
