Here's a code snippet, taken from Ivor Horton's Beginning C++. It involves 
BREAKing a loop, after a certain number of invalid values are input. 
After i have compiled, when i try to run the program, i get a message saying 
BREAK is off and then it goes back to the DOS prompt. Whats the problem??

other code

//make sure table size is within limits
if(table >= table_min && table <= table_max)
  break;                                     //exit the input loop
else if(count < input_tries)
  cout << "Invalid input - Try again.";
else
{
 cout << "Invalid table size entered - for the third time."
      << "\nSorry, only three tries - program terminated."
      << endl;
 exit(1);
}
