Program runs in codeblocks but not from the executable.

[Midnite]

Hello
So I just started learning c++ and I tried to create a simple hello world program, it builds and runs just fine in code blocks, running it from cmd seems to be working aswell but when I doubleclick the .exe it just quickly flashes an empty window on the screen. I realize this question has been asked before but I wasn't able to find a solution in any of the old threads.

This is likely because that is how you wrote your program.
You need to ask on a site that teaches programming.

because this is quite common, i added a FAQ entry in the wiki:

Right, sorry for asking stupid questions, I didn't want to move forward until I was sure I didn't fuck up some compiler settings or something.
Thank you
