Yesterday, I was trying to help with a problem in QA where the OP can't get his code to do anything except show: "The program has exited with code 0 (0x0)". I'm assuming he has messed up VS, or done something stupid in a constructor, and needs to locate exactly where it's failing.
Today, he posts his entire code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World";
return 0;
}
It's getting harder and harder to deal with some of these people politely without banging my head on the desk repeatedly...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

May be the IDE or some other program staying always on Top & not letting the output console to show up? And the OP was just trying to see a "Hello World" ?
Starting to think people post kid pics in their profiles because that was the last time they were cute - Jeremy Falcon.

Yet another reason why students should not be allowed near Visual Studio (or any other IDE) until they have at least learnt the basics.

No. The console window will open and immediately close again when the program exists. If you blink at that short moment, you will not even notice it.
The user can't update the up: we update it for them (Choice in the CP poll)

Good catch. In vc run with f5 cause the console to disappear. Haha

What? Is there a black console? I can only see a white console.

I know many here aren't keen on it, but I still think there should be a minimum standard for questions that should be applied. Not quite StackOverflow's insane level, but just something to keep the QA section useful and usable (and give us a fighting chance of answering questions rather than asking the OP to post his code every time). 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

May be add multiple yes no box on submit.
Have you add your code?
On yes
Are you sure you picked the right part?
On yes
How about error messages?
You get tge idea...

Could work, but my guess is everyone would just automatically check them.
Maybe a "in review" queue where questions can be rejected and sent back to the OP for improvement before they're published to the wider community? Or even an "in review" list which is visible and that we can look at, accept or reject (with comments) but not answer? So the question has to be accepted before it can be answered..

My suggestion was a joke, but your suggestion make sense. But if an op has issue with language and some butt hurt refuse to let the op pass, would be very much discouraging

Language improvements could be part of the suggestions made back to the OP - people reading the question have to be able to understand what's being asked.
I've seen quite a few questions where it's impossible to tell what's being asked, and often they never get any kind of answer - what's the use of content like that on any site? What does anyone learn from it?

Well don't be so down on yourself,
seems to me like you actually got one of the smarter posters with a tad more skill than others...
these days most when asked to show their code post pictures of it (and yes, often taken with a mobile phone.)
At least this guy figured out how to paste the actual text.
signature upgrading ... please wait.

Perhaps a "Beginners" section would relieve some of that. Some of the Linux forums have an area dedicated to noobs.
FWIIW: I have also forgotten about keeping the console active, most of my programs crapware tends to be console stuff. 
Arguing with a woman is like reading the Software License Agreement. In the end, you ignore everything and click "I agree".

You are a true CP hero. I occasionally look at the Q&A forum and run away screaming.

A "Beginner" section could take us a long way. Last night I found this and this and attempted to answer. I just have 3 years of experience, so I can only imagine what it's like for you guys.

In fact, I hate knocking.

Long time without programming, but is the reason for this because the program exits so fast it does not display anything ?
My dos box used to make a pause before exiting.

Oh yes! This is native code, on a fast enough PC you don't even get to see the console window open...

Just checked in old projects
When ctrl+F5 to start without debugging, it prompts automatically (code above would dispay hello world)
When F5 not, but usually you have breakpoints in your code - and the indication that nothing showed was a sign that you misplaced your breakpoint in non executed code...

For a complete noob, I can understand his frustration. It is annoying as he__ to have to look up the right 'getch,' or stream overload call every time someone posts code like that, which presents itself as a newbie example. Those who write for newbie's, NOT EVERYONE WILL BE DOING EVERYTHING THROUGH A CONSOLE! Take the time to make sure your code doesn't disappear in the blink of an eye on them!
