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.

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 'Learning Assembly and computer architecture for x86'

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...

Thread 'Learning data structures and algorithms in different programming languages'

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
