Empty Terminal upon building and running

[Arghoslent6]

Hello everyone, new to the forum, and to the programming world, I am currently enrolled in a first year C programming course in College so be gentle regarding my shortcomings, lack of knowledge, or any missteps of netiquette.

The current problem I am facing is as stated in the title of the thread. I had tried several different pieces of code, from simple, to more complex. I initially had problems getting the compiler to work, but I was finally able to get GCC to work with code blocks. The problem is, when I build and run, although a terminal window pops up, it remains blank. All the pieces of code I have used are correct and do compile as I they are old labs from my C programming class.

This is a snapshot of a piece of code I have used, and the blank screen in question (although im pretty sure everyone has seen this): http://imgur.com/gI5J2ln

I have searched google for a solution as well as the forums without any solution to the problem. If someone were to help me solve this problem, it would be much appreciated.

Thank you

My friend is also in the c programming class and uses code blocks, he also uses GCC, and has no problem, so there is no issue in that regard.
