I had the same problem when I first started using C++. Try running w/o debugging. That fixed the problem for me.

When your program uses cin for an input you usually have the enter floating about and need to purge it, or cin.get() picks it up and doesn't wait.

Use this to make your console display wait for a key:

cin.sync(); // purge enter
cin.get(); // console wait
return 0;

You can also use two cin.get() statements in the row.

getchar() gets bothered by the same thing and is a holdover from the C parenthood of C++. You need to include the cstdio header though.
