noob noob noob noob!

all you have to do is replace cin.get, with get(). NOOB!

that way, once any character is inputted, the program continues on. NEEEEWWWWBBB!!

listen, i understand you are a really bad newb, so let me try to help you here:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
...
getchar()
...
}

NEWB!!!

than cin.get();.

void pause()
{
cout << "Press ENTER to continue . . .";
cin.ignore(9999, '\n');
}

No more bugs but still you have to hit 'ENTER'.

t's a very expensive and resource heavy function call. It's like using a bulldozer to open your front door. It works, but the key is cleaner, easier, cheaper. What system() does is:
1.

suspend your program
2.

call the operating system
3.

open an operating system shell (relaunches the O/S in a sub-process)
4.

the O/S must now find the PAUSE command
5.

allocate the memory to execute the command
6.

execute the command and wait for a keystroke
7.

deallocate the memory
8.

exit the OS
9.

resume your program

There are much cleaner ways included in the language itself that make all this unnessesary.

You must include a header you probably don't need: stdlib.h or cstdlib

It's a bad habit you'll have to break eventually anyway.

Instead, use the functions that are defined natively in C/C++ already. So what is it you're trying to do? Wait for a key to be pressed? Fine -- that's called input. So in C, use getchar() instead. In C++, how about cin.get()? All you have to do is press RETURN and your program continues.
