使VC控制台暂停的办法

一、添加头文件：#include<stdlib.h>
system("PAUSE");

二、使用输入函数
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
cout cin的头文件

三、使用system("PAUSE")弊端

system("pause")
I've never understood why system("PAUSE") is so popular. Sure it will pause a program before it exits. This pause is very useful when your IDE won't wait as you test a program and as soon as the program finished the window closes taking all your data with it.

But using system("PAUSE") is like burning your furniture for heat when you have a perfectly good thermostat on the wall.

Many people, instructors included, for some inexplicable reason think that making a call to the operating system and running a system command to temporarily halt a program is a good thing. Where they get this idea is beyond me. Reasons:

It's not portable. This works only on systems that have the PAUSE command at the system level, like DOS or Windows. But not Linux and most others...

It's a very expensive and resource heavy function call.

It's like using a bulldozer to open your front door. It works, but the key is cleaner, easier, cheaper. What system() does is:

suspend your program

call the operating system

open an operating system shell (relaunches the O/S in a sub-process)

the O/S must now find the PAUSE command

allocate the memory to execute the command

execute the command and wait for a keystroke

deallocate the memory

exit the OS

resume your program

There are much cleaner ways included in the language itself that make all this unnessesary.

You must include a header you probably don't need: stdlib.h or cstdlib

It's a bad habit you'll have to break eventually anyway.

Instead, use the functions that are defined natively in C/C++ already. So what is it you're trying to do? Wait for a key to be pressed? Fine -- that's called input. So in C, use getchar() instead. In C++, how about cin.get()? All you have to do is press RETURN and your program continues.
