Question

can anyone tell me how to use gotoxy and clrscr in dev c++ compiler..i have tried many unfortunately not working....:(

Answer 1

have you included necessary header files

Answer 2

@iamcj- unfortunately no header files exits....

Answer 3

dev c++ has no header files like stdio.h or conio.h??

Answer 4

nope there are header files but none have the gotoxy included in them

Answer 5

gotoXY is a graphical function and in standard c++ it is generally defined in graphics.h file..

Answer 6

i will try that

Answer 7

got it... in dev c++ you have to give your own header files... it doesnot come with its own.... it asks during every start up

Answer 8

not working....

Answer 9

@iamcj- it has stdio.h,stdlib.h......it doesn't only support the gotoxy function which essential for the graphics driven programs..i tried writing own header files but not working...:(

Answer 10

there are many other compilers available.... try them... many are open source..

Answer 11

they have graphics.h ,, even turbo c++ has graphics.h

Answer 12

to use clrscr in c++, you must use a header file #include<conio.h>

Answer 13

for "clrscr();" you may use "system("cls"); but you need to include conio.h.

for gotoxy() it's a bit more complicated to explain. Here's a working example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void main()
{
HANDLE consHandle;
COORD consCoord;

consHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
consCoord.X = 30; //coord x
consCoord.Y = 10; //coord y
SetConsoleCursorPosition(consHandle, consCoord); //gotoxy replacement
printf("Hello World\n\n");
_getch();
}

Answer 14

i tried inserting the above function module but its all vain...
