Re: gotxy function REPLY

gotoxy is not a standard C function, so you need other library for that.

Re: gotxy function REPLY

This is one of the problems with learning to program with an ancient compiler such as Turbo C -- you don't know the difference between compiler-specific functions and standard C.

Re: gotxy function REPLY

Yep.

@OP: Go for MinGW or Codeblocks/MinGW package.

Re: gotxy function REPLY

The GCC does not supply gotoxy() with <conio.h>.

Since it is a Windows program, why not use the SetConsoleCursorPosition() function?

If you are using POSIX, let me know.

Re: gotxy function REPLY

Wow, look a gift horse in the mouth...

If the library that ships with your OS isn't sufficient, or you want something portable (which <conio.h> isn't, BTW), try NCurses.

For Windows: http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/
For POSIX: http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/

Read the tutorial in the last link he posted. If you can't understand that then you have no business attempting to write complicated programs; get yourself an Introduction to C++ programming book and start studying from page 1, not the back of the book.
