Simple cin cout Code runs by “build and run” but dosent work from bin/debug/x.exe

I'm new to coding. I just made this simple code by using codeblocks. It works perfectly from the "build and run" option but when running the ".exe" file, it closes instead of working when a value is entered.

I have reinstalled codeblocks two times, but still it isn't working.

#include 

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  int no;
  cout << "Type the number u need the square of" << endl;
  cin >> no;
  cout << " The square of " << no << " is " << no*no << endl;

  return 0;
}

You can make the application wait till your input before it closes. Add two lines at the end of your code:

std::cout << "Press enter to quit.\n";
std::cin.ignore();
