Re: Things to Avoid in C/C++ -- system("pause"), Part 4I read your article and it makes sense. But it also raises another question for me. Why does it exist?

Re: Things to Avoid in C/C++ -- system("pause"), Part 4Because the system() function can be used to execute any operating system command, like dir, ls, rename, etc. Even shutdown given the proper command syntax.
The pause command is used in batch files to pause execution of the file. And like many things in life, you are allowed to combine things that should not be combined, like peanut butter and pickles. Both are useful, but together they suck.  __________________
