Sorry about the newbie question. I was beginning to study c/c++ in turbo c++
4.5 and just bought c++ builder personal 6.0. I was used to doing 'cout'
with <iostream.h>, etc. but am unable to view output in bcb6 for simple code
such as the following. How can I view output in bcb6? Do I need to change
the code, setup a certain form, set some option to view output or what?
Thanks!

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
int var = 10;
int *ptr;

ptr = &var; // assign address of var to value of ptr

cout << "nValue of var: " << var; // value of var
cout << "nLocation of var: " << &var; // memory location where var is
stored
cout << "nValue of ptr: " << ptr; // memory location where var is
stored(since we assigned &var to ptr)
cout << "nLocation of ptr: " << &ptr; // memory location where ptr is
stored
cout << "nValue of *ptr: " << *ptr; // value of var(since we
assigned &var to ptr)

return 0;
}

That is normal behavior. When a console mode program runs it asks Windows
to open a console in which it will do I/O. When the console mode program
ends Windows closes the console.

If you want to see the console window at the end of the program either place
a breakpoint on the return statement in main or add getchar(); on the line
before that return statement.

<Want to view output from a console application>

I always have a dos window open, alongside BCB 6. That way, I compile the
code, then switch to the DOS window and run the application from the
command
line. You can set it so that the DOS window defaults to a particular folder
(where your programs are stored) so that you can just launch the program
as soon as the DOS window is opened. It works great.
