How do I make a C++ program close before shutting down?

[EthanS]

My program doesn't give me time to read it! I have tried writing [return 0;] at the end but it doesn't work, and most tutorials are outdated, since I am using the newest version.

Press Ctrl+F5 during debug

or add the following lines at the end before "return 0;":

char response;
cin >> response;

The question is not clear enough to answer. What do you mean by

"close before shutting down"

What you want to shut down or what you want to close?

Ok thanks that works.
I also found out that I could use cin.get();
