Greetings, The code below is compiling in Repl.it , Julia 1.3.  
I am teaching myself and my high school students how to use the printf macro.  
When I compile, the display flashes on my Windows computer. Any suggestions to make the output display permanently and not briefly flash its results?

The code is shown below.

# Julia 1.3

begin  
using Pkg  
Pkg.add.(“Printf”)  
using Printf  
end

floatvalue = 0.02  
@printf(“the floating point value is %f”, floatvalue)  
floatvalue2 = 1.29  
@printf(“the value of %f + %f = %d”, floatvalue, floatvalue2, floatvalue + floatvalue2)
