Opening my laptop camera with opencv - c++

Question

I'm trying to use my laptop camera with visual studio 2013 opencv.Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
using namespace cv;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
char c = waitKey(1);
Mat img;
VideoCapture vc(0);
while (1)
{
vc >> img;
imshow("test", img);
if (c == 27) //ESc
break;
}
return 0;
}
When I run the code my camera doesn't open and it wouldn't give me any errors
Here's what I'm getting when I exit it using ctrl+alt+dlt:

Opencv window display it needs to add waitkey. In the provided code it should be under the while loop so that it can scan key every time and if key is not pressed within the delay it will continue till escape key is pressed.
Here is the working code:
#include <iostream>
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
using namespace cv;
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
Mat img;
VideoCapture vc(0);
while (1)
{
char c = waitKey(1);
vc >> img;
imshow("test", img);
if (c == 27) //ESc
break;
}
return 0;
}
