Well ... first try changing "/n" to "\n". The code also looks very C like 
(ie, that isn't a C++ program). *however* it should work (it does on my 
machine). I feel the problem is with the /n vs \n ... with '/n' printf will 
display '/n'. With '\n' it'll do a newline. Maybe bash is doing a automatic 
carrage return when the program ends ... so it'll overwrite the output.
