  cout << "Hello World!\n";
  return 0;
  cin >>i;
}

I am not a mac expert guy but that could be one of the reason.

Hey Shabbir, the code you works correct. then whats problem???

I also thought so when I posted but then having a statement after the return in main is not a good practice.

Nothing wrong with the code, as code. It's just that the cin is not effective (for keeping the window open). In those instances where the code is running in a window owned by the OS or the IDE and not the program, it isn't going to close until one closes it overtly, anyway.

PLease elaborate that. I was unable to understand...
