Console window closes

[collinsp]

Can any one help me with the code below. I am just learning C and any
help would be appreciated. When I run the program the console opens,
the printf in the function getData prints, I enter the data and when I
hit return the console closes.
Thanks

I think you dont want the console to close. You could do that by
putting a getch(); just before the return 0 statement in the main().

Plz post C questions in C forums.

This group discusses C++, not C, and so is unlikely to be of any
help to you in C. However...

When I run the program the console opens, the printf in the
function getData prints, I enter the data and when I hit
return the console closes.

That's something outside your program which is doing it. Your
program never opens a console (and never closes one either). So
you really should ask in a group specific to your environment.

// Unit 4 Project 44.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console
application.

If your file name ends in .cpp, you're almost certainly working
in C++, and not C. Your first step is to decide which one you
want, and use it. Your code looks like C; if that's what you
want, rename your file to end in .c (and post your questions in
comp.lang.c).

Also, your comment above is false for both C and C++. The entry
point for all applications (console or otherwise) in both C and
C++ is a function called main, and I don't see any function
called main in your code.

That tells me you are using Microsoft Visual C++ to run the program.

Hit ctrl-F5 instead of just F5 to run it.
