system("PAUSE");

Question

hello all,

1) what does

system(

"PAUSE");

do ??

2) can programs do without it ?

Answer 1

Just as it says. It causes the execution of your program to pause
until you hit a key. It keeps the console window open so you can
look at the output. You don't always need it. You can do a breakpoint
instead, or use "Run to cursor", or use alternate input methods, or
run without debugging, etc.

You easily could have found out what it does by running your program
both with and without the pause.
