help with system ("pause"); return 0;

[ajenell]

Hello, I am writing a program for class and I feel I have the code worked out well. However when I try to run the code to see if it works, I cannot get it to "pause". I am using system ("pause");
return 0; just as I had in other codes, but today I cannot figure out what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

//Function prototypes
void showmenu();
void skiNameTime();

int main()
{
double AvgTime = 0.0; //average skier time
int count = 0; //counter
const int size = 5; // global constant
string SkiNames[size] = { "Leela", "Sarah", "Anna", "Keesha", "Heidi" }; //array of skiers
double SkiTimes[size] = { 2.03, 2.40, 1.85, 1.90, 2.50 }; //array of ski times
int choice; //holds choice
const int fast_skier = 1, avg_time = 2, time_skier = 3, list_skier = 4;
string fastSkiName = "Anna";
double fastestTime = 1.85;


//set up output formatting
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);

do
{
//display menu
showmenu();
cin >> choice;

//validate the menu selection.
while (choice>5)
{
cout << "Please enter a valid menu choice "<<endl;
cin >> choice;
}

if (choice == fast_skier)
{
cout << "The fastest skier is " << fastSkiName << " with a time of " << fastestTime;

pause is a windows operating system utility. If you are not on windows it will not work.

Ajenell, please either sort out your code tags or re-post after this with your proper code.

I may have miscounted opening and closing braces, but I doubt if that code will compile. Anyway, put system("pause") at the end of main(), not floating around after a bunch of other routines.

this:

system("pause");
return 0:
}

is not in any function. Additionally, you are asking the user for a number 1-4 but you only have 3 cases and no default.
