thanks in advance....
that include the following code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include<iostream.h>
#include<graphics.h>
#include<conio.h>
class point
{
int x;
int y;
static int pointnum;

public:
static int getpointnum()
{
return pointnum;
}

int getx()
{
return x;
}

int gety()
{
return y;
}


void setx(int n)
{
x=n;
}
void sety(int m)
{
y=m;
}

point()
{
x=y=0;
pointnum++;
cout<<"def. con. point";
}

point(int n,int m)
{
x=n;
y=m;
pointnum++;
cout<<"con. point";
}

~point()
{
pointnum--;
cout<<"dest. point";
}

};

class rect
{
int color;
point ul;
point lr;
static int rectnum;

public:
static int getrectnum()
{
return rectnum;
}

rect():ul(),lr()
{
color=0;
rectnum++;
}

rect(int x1,int y1,int x2,int y2,int c):ul(x1,y1),lr(x2,y2)
{
color=c;
rectnum++;
}

~rect()
{
rectnum--;
}

void draw()
{
setcolor(color);
rectangle(ul.getx(),ul.gety(),lr.getx(),lr.gety());

}
};

int rect::rectnum=0;
int point::pointnum=0;
void main()
{
/* request auto detection */
int gdriver =DETECT, gmode, errorcode;

/* initialize graphics and local variables */
initgraph(&gdriver, &gmode, "c:\\bcpp\\bgi");

/* read result of initialization */
errorcode = graphresult();
if (errorcode != grOk) /* an error occurred */
{
printf("Graphics error: %s\n", grapherrormsg(errorcode));
printf("Press any key to halt:");
getch();
exit(1); /* terminate with an error code */
}

rect r(200,300,400,500,5);
r.draw();
getch();
closegraph();
}

You might as well ask about the coal driven steam engine in your Ferrari while you're at it.

Do you have a reason why you are running borland c++ 3.11??

I can tell you that the program will not run on a computer that has no clue what DOS stretch mode is .

hi guys,, thanks for replying but really i'm in stage of learning c++ .. and the instructor asked me to use borland c++ as it is the worst compiler to deal with .. so i'm forced to use it ...
i hope anyone help me ,, and find answer to my problem & also tell me about a good compiler to use it .. thank uzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
