I have a noob question about C....

I made my first "hello world" program and successfully compiled it, and when I open the .exe it clearly says what it's suppose to, but it just closes as soon as it opens. Here's the script I used:
So my question is, is there some kind of code I need to add to it to keep the program from closing, or is there another problem I'm not seeing?
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf_s("Hello, World!\n");
}

1) open up cmd and launch the program from within the command
or
2) add getchar(); to the end of your program. This will cause the program to hang until you type a character (press a key), so:
#include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf_s("Hello, World!\n"); getchar(); }The reason it does this is because it assumes you're in a persistent console.
You could also use:
system("Pause");right?
