c++ pause linux

To pause the execution of a C++ program on Linux, you can use the std::cin.get() function. Here's how it works:

  1. Include the necessary header file at the beginning of your C++ program: #include <iostream>.
  2. Within your main function, add the following line to pause the program: std::cin.get();.
  3. When the program reaches this line, it will wait for the user to press the Enter key before continuing or terminating the program.

This method is commonly used to keep the terminal window open after the program has finished executing, allowing the user to view the program output before closing the window.
