21. FAQ:
    1. Q: When I press Ctrl-F5 to run my application, the console window pops up, the program output appears and then the window quickly closes as the application exits. This makes it difficult for me to see the output. How can I prevent the window from closing immediately?
       A: Alt-F7 Configuration Properties / Linker / System. Set "Subsystem" to "Console". (If you start with an Empty Project, this leaves Subsystem unset.)
    2. Q: Where are the projects which I created?
       A: The default location is "C:\Users\yourname\source\repos".
    3. Q: When I use the "scanf()" function in my program, Visual Studio fails to compile. The error message says "This function may be unsafe. Consider using scanf_s() instead."
       Don't use "scanf_s()". It is proprietary in Visual Studio, and will make your program unable to be compiled on Linux.
       My suggestion is to put "#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS" at the top of your main program (before any #include).
    4. Q: I declared a 1000x1000 int array. The program was compiled correctly, but failed at run time. What's wrong?
       A: Visual Studio on reserve 1MB stack memory. You can adjust this by Project (Alt-F7) - Setting - Linker - System - Stack Reserve Size
