HELP console exits once i start program

[fuzzybunny3]

:rock: I'm new! I mean new! Like just started today and I have a problem I try this code:

34fx// Lost Fortune
// A personalized adventure

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::string;

int main()
{
const int GOLD_PIECES = 900;
int adventurers, killed, survivors;
string leader;

//get the information
cout << "Welcome to Lost Fortune\n\n";
cout << "Please enter the following for your personalized adventure\n";

cout << "Enter a number: ";
cin >> adventurers;

cout << "Enter a number, smaller than the first: ";
cin >> killed;

survivors = adventurers - killed;

cout << "Enter your last name: ";
cin >> leader;

//tell the story
cout << "\nA brave group of " << adventurers << " set out on a quest ";
cout << "-- in search of the lost treasure of the Ancient Dwarves. ";
cout << "The group was led by that legendary rogue, " << leader << ".\n";

cout << "\nAlong the way, a band of marauding ogres ambushed the party. ";
cout << "All fought bravely under the command of " << leader;
cout << ", and the ogres were defeated, but at a cost. ";
cout << "Of the adventurers, " << killed << " were vanquished, ";
cout << "leaving just " << survivors << " in the group.\n";

cout << "\nThe party was about to give up all hope. ";
cout << "But while laying the deceased to rest, ";
cout << "they stumbled upon the buried fortune. ";
cout << "So the adventurers split " << GOLD_PIECES << " gold pieces.";
cout << leader << " held on to the extra " << (GOLD_PIECES % survivors);
cout << " pieces to keep things fair of course.\n";

return 0;
}




It first works I enter the first two values it ask me and then I put in the third i enter it in and press enter it exits the whole program. I think I need something to pause the whole program to see the rest. What could that be???

You will need to build your own functions. Copy and paste this to a file to back it up.

#include <string>
#include <climits>

using namespace std;

void reset_istream( )
{
   //Reset failstate just in case.
  cin.clear();
   cin.ignore(numeric_limits<streamsize>::max(), '\n');
}

//---------------------------------------------------

void wait_for_enter()
{
  cout << "press <enter> to continue...\n";
  // Reset failstate, just in case.
  cin.clear();
  string line;
  getline( cin, line);
}

You can see in this thread:
Reversing a string and palindromes.
how to use it.

I'm a while whore when it comes to such things. I like to test multiple results, and keep the application going. Like so:

// Lost Fortune
// A personalized adventure

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
using std::string;

int main()
{
        const int GOLD_PIECES = 900;
        int adventurers, killed, survivors;
        string leader;

        //get the information
        cout << "Welcome to Lost Fortune\n\n";
        cout << "Please enter the following for your personalized adventure\n";

        cout << "Enter a number: ";
        cin >> adventurers;

        while(adventurers != 0)
        {
                cout << "Enter a number, smaller than the first: ";
                cin >> killed;
                survivors = adventurers - killed;

                cout << "Enter your last name: ";
                cin >> leader;

                //tell the story
                cout << "\nA brave group of " << adventurers << " set out on a quest ";
                cout << "-- in search of the lost treasure of the Ancient Dwarves. ";
                cout << "The group was led by that legendary rogue, " << leader << ".\n";

                cout << "\nAlong the way, a band of marauding ogres ambushed the party. ";
                cout << "All fought bravely under the command of " << leader;
                cout << ", and the ogres were defeated, but at a cost. ";
                cout << "Of the adventurers, " << killed << " were vanquished, ";
                cout << "leaving just " << survivors << " in the group.\n";

                cout << "\nThe party was about to give up all hope. ";
                cout << "But while laying the deceased to rest, ";
                cout << "they stumbled upon the buried fortune. ";
                cout << "So the adventurers split " << GOLD_PIECES << " gold pieces.";
                cout << leader << " held on to the extra " << (GOLD_PIECES % survivors);
                cout << " pieces to keep things fair of course.\n";
        }
        return 0;
}
