If you have any characters still in the keyboard buffer (ie: EOF) then the
program will exit straight away.
kbhit() returns a true value if there is a character waiting in the keyboard
buffer otherwise it returns a false value.

CODE SNIPPET

#include <pc.h>

while(kbhit())
    getch();

Hope this helps.
