How do I prevent the console (application file) from closing itself immediately after running in windows? [closed]

Question

After I compile my program and run the executable, it closes instantaneously. I barely see my output. How do I prevent this?

Answer 1

The following two lines will print the message "Press ENTER key to Continue" and then pause execution waiting for the enter key. I hope this helps.

printf("Press ENTER key to Continue\n");  
getchar();
