Weird Crash

xTwisteDx (5)
Here is the source code for the little program I am building. Whenever I build/run (code::blocks) it runs perfectly fine inside the IDE. However whenever I compile and run the executable outside the IDE whenever it gets to the "Savings Account Balance" section it will crash after entering any numeral value. Any ideas why it is doing this?

works fine for me, here. What's probably happening is your program (and therefore the console) is just closing immediately because main is exiting. See this thread for solutions to that problem:

Thanks @Disch such a simple mistake can make a world of a difference xD. The thread didn't work but it did remind me to use this line of code

system("PAUSE");
return 0;

which immediately resolved my issue. Thanks again!
