New to C++

Hey, I am new to C++ and I have a question. Whenever I write a code, for example the first code in the 100 page C++ book, which is

Code:

//Game Over
//A first C++ Program

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
		std::cout << "GAME ;OVER!" << std::endl;
		return 0;
}

and I compile and run it, the window that looks like command prompt opens and closes real fast. It has done this with other small similar programs that I did not compile or make myself. I was wondering if anybody knew what the problem was and how to fix it.

Thanks

welcome to C++ i just recently stared too
im also using the book its really good

alright yeah this is a fairly common error for people it happened to me
what you need to do is add
"system("pause");"
in a line right before return 0;

what happens is that your computer dosent no to "pause"
so it opens up the window displays game over and closes it before we can see it

also that is only the first 100 pages of the book theres another 275 ish pages just look back a page or two and haloman posted a link in where you can download the whole book
eventually if you want to continue past the first 100 pages youll have to dl the book
