By adding the code to

* output the text "Press any key to continue"
* having the program to wait until 'any key' was pressed.

at the end of main.

Note: the later cannot be done with standard C or standard C++.
You will need platform/compiler specific extensions to do that.
Thus it is often easier to just have the program wait for some
text or a single character to be input. ( even an empty text input
is still a text input. Your user will have to press return. But anyway
this is simpler then having your user call you: The programm tells me
to press the any key. Where is that key located on my keyboard? )
