Troubleshooting Code Blocks: 'Hello World' Won't Stay!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a user experiencing issues with Code::Blocks while trying to run a simple "hello world" program in their computer science course. The main problem is that the output window appears and disappears quickly, making it difficult to view the output. The user has attempted various methods to pause the window but has been unsuccessful. Interestingly, the issue resolved itself without any changes made by the user, leading to frustration over the unpredictability of the software. The conversation highlights common challenges faced by beginners in programming environments and the sometimes erratic behavior of development tools.

I just began a course on computer science and we're to use Code Blocks as the program to use, but I can't get the darn thing to work.
The built in simple program called "hello world" is supposed to have a black window pop up that says "hello world", but the window pops up and disappears and I can't make it stay. It just flashes. I tried clicking next to every line to stop it at every point, but it never stays.

I have never used CodeBlocks, but I had the same problem with some other C++ IDE when I was getting started.

This may be helpful.
 
Thanks. Actually it just started working for no apparent reason. I didn't change anything. It sucks that my learning experience is dependent on the whims of my schizophrenic computer.
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
