Premature console closing

Hi I am new to CPP and am writing a program that determines how attractive a user is based on what foods they eat most and the program is cutting out before you can see the score. Please help


#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
char choice_MaleFemale;
char choice_FoodOne;
char choice_FoodTwo;
char choice_FoodThree;
char PlayAgain;
char AnyKey;
int AttractiveScore;
int FinalAttractiveScore;
int StupidScore;



int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
cout << "Are you male or female? (M/F)" << endl;
cin >> choice_MaleFemale;
if (choice_MaleFemale == 'm'||  choice_MaleFemale == 'M')
	{
	cout << "I need to know what food you eat the most. \n If you eat pesto pasta: type 'a'. \n If you eat sushi: type 'b'. \n If you eat barbeque: type 'c'. \n If you eat take out Chinese food: type 'd'. \n If you eat raman noodles: type 'e'. \n If you eat fancy expensive food(i.e. goose liver pate): type 'f'. \n If you eat crab: type 'g'." << endl;
cin >> choice_FoodOne;
if (choice_FoodOne == 'a'|| choice_FoodOne == 'A')
	{
	AttractiveScore += 4;
	}
else if (choice_FoodOne == 'b'|| choice_FoodOne == 'B')
	{
	AttractiveScore += 6;
	}
else if (choice_FoodOne == 'c'|| choice_FoodOne == 'C')
	{
	AttractiveScore += 5;
	}
else if (choice_FoodOne == 'd'|| choice_FoodOne == 'D')
	{
	AttractiveScore += 5;
	}
else if (choice_FoodOne == 'e'|| choice_FoodOne == 'E')
	{
	AttractiveScore += 6;
	}
else if (choice_FoodOne == 'f'|| choice_FoodOne == 'F')
	{
	AttractiveScore += 0;
	}

	{
	AttractiveScore += 8;
	}
cout << "I need to know what food you eat the second most. \n If you eat pesto pasta: type 'a'. \n If you eat sushi: type 'b'. \n If you eat barbeque: type 'c'. \n If you eat take out Chinese food: type 'd'. \n If you eat raman noodles: type 'e'. \n If you eat fancy expensive food(i.e. goose liver pate): type 'f'. \n If you eat crab: type 'g'." << endl;

//the same function goes here but the scores are a little different, unfortunately my program was too long and the website wouldnt let me post it all
	}
}

It's because you haven't declare the gringo variable to determine exit status.

Jk

Please read the board entry called closing the console program. It will tell you how to keep the console open long enough so you can see output.

pogrady, thank you i read the entry and it had several good replies and it worked the console is now staying open as long as i want it to.

hey, just a hint, rather than doing something like

if(choice == 'A' || choice == 'a') ...

You could do something like

if(tolower(choice) == 'a') ...

This will convert upper case letters to lowercase and leave lowercase alone, it will cleanup your code a bit.
