title: What is the Best Practice for Combating the Console Closing Issue?
body: <p>After compiling console programs the console window closes immediately after running. What is the best practice for keeping it open? I've searched google loads, I'm used to codeblocks where you don't have to worry about it, but, I want to mess around with Visual Studio a bit and with VS, my console closes. All over the interwebz there are several different ways to keep it open, however, I've read that most of them are bad coding techniques. What is everyones preferred method?</p>
