How to stop C++ console closing immediately after first input

I have lately decided to take up learning c++ and it's been quite fun at first I encountered the problem of the console closing immediately after an output which could be solved by adding System("pause") now i have a program that has two inputs and after the first input the console closes without showing me any output and I couldn't fix it with system("pause").

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(){
    char name[50];
    int age;

    cout << "Please enter your name? ";
    cin >> name;


    cout << endl << "Okay, how old are you ? ";
    cin >> age;

    cout << "Nice to meet you, " << name << "!" endl;

    if (age < 10) cout << "Oh, you're quite young aren't you!" << endl; else
        if (age < 20) cout << "Embrace your teens they won't last long!" << endl else
            if (age < 40) cout << "Ah, I see you're still in your prime" << endl else
                if (age < 60) cout << "That's nice" << endl;


    return 0;
}

You can also use getch() in your program before the "return 0". The system will exit after you press a key.

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  cout << "Hello";
  getch();
  return 0;
}

int main () {

while (true) { 

system ("CLS"); //this will clear the screen of any text from prior run
cin.clear();    //this will clear any values remain in cin from prior run

body of your program goes here

system ("PAUSE");
} // this ends while loop
return 0;
} // this ends your main function.

I hope this helps.

In Visual Studio, run your program via Ctrl+F5.

I think you still want to use System("PAUSE")...

Try:

#include <cstdlib>

cout << endl << "Okay, how old are you ? ";
cin >> age;

cout << "Nice to meet you, " << name << "!" endl;
system("PAUSE");
