I need help everytime i compile the code it says no errrors or anything.

You mean like this:

int main()
{
    char *p = 0;
    *p = 'x';
}

All it does is crash sooner than it opens please tell me if anyone has ever had this happen.

The program above compiles with no errors, and it can crash when you run it.

So show your code.

Im just learning c++ this is what i just made and it does the same.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
int a;
int b;
int result;

cout << "enter your addition equation";

result = a + b;

cout << result;

return 0;
}

Hmm aside from that you didn't initialize your variables, the code is fine.

Please check your compiler and project settings.

whenever i open any exe that opens in command prompt it crashes... i just found this out... any ideas?

[namezero111111]

You mean if you start cmd.exe and then open, let's say "calc.exe" ?

What's your operating system? It is likely that the O/S is at fault here...

[joerules22]

it just seems to be programs that i have compiled. Ive downloaded a bunch of soucecode everything i have compiled has crashed. I have another computer and these same programs work. My OS is XP what the hell is going on? ?

[Philip Nicoletti]

What do you mean by "crash" ? What error message gets shown ?

[joerules22]

it just comes up for a milisecond and poof is gone.

[Paul McKenzie]

Fix the uninitialized variables and run the program from the command-line.

EVEN this program wont work!


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}

IS NOT A CRASH

If you open a Command Prompt Window (so you get a C:> prompt), navigate to the directory with the .exe, and run the exe from the command line, Wjat Happens?

ps: The humnan eye is not capable of recognizing something that take only a millisecond. And neither is your computer monitor, so obviously your statement is also wrong.

[Paul McKenzie]

Did you do what I stated? Open a command window, go to where the exe was created, and run it from the command line.

Do *not* run it by clicking on it in Windows Explorer, or from the Dev-C++ "run" option or anything like that.

It's amazing how the simplest thing, i.e. just go to the directory and type in the name of the exe seems to escape so many of these new programmers. I mean, isn't that the way they're taught to run any compiled program?
