run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop

The statement `system("pause")` is commonly used in Windows environments to pause the console output before closing it. However, it is not a portable solution and may not work on all platforms.

Here's an example of how you can add a console pause in your program using a cross-platform approach:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("Press Enter to continue...");
    getchar(); // Waits for the user to press Enter
    return 0;
}

In this example, `getchar()` is used to wait for the user to press Enter before the program exits. This approach works on both Windows and Unix-based systems.

Alternatively, you can use platform-specific methods or libraries to achieve a similar effect. For example, on Windows, you can use `getch()` from `<conio.h>`, or on Unix-based systems, you can use `tcsetattr()` from `<termios.h>`. However, keep in mind that these methods are not part of the standard C library and may not be available on all platforms.
