# include<conio.h> --- c prog

[kimikrishna]

i am getting error for this in gcc..

i want this for

clrscr(); and getch();

any idea ?

and why does gcc make me to type

int main() instead of void main()

[coka]

i think (not quite sure) gcc provide a facility to interact with surroundings by returning a value which is type of int .
Edit:
are u able to include conio.h i think it is not in gcc.
and also u need not to use getch() or clrscr() both are useless in gcc.

Hi Kimikrishna,

conio.h is, if i recall correctly, a header file used in MS-DOS programming .. it's not something that you'll be able to use in Linux.

This seemed quite helpful for implementing a getch() equivalent:

I thiiiiiiiiiiink - but it's been a while - you can either do a:

system("clear");

to clear the screen in a linux terminal or maybe use the curses library?:

Hope this helps!

this function is borland specific. its way back to old turbo c++ on dos. the post above is correct and also provides a link to the standard in linux wiht the ncurses library.

edit:
there is a progtramming talk section here on the forums which you can ask these things. good luck .)

conio.h is not ansi-c standard

you've to type int main() because void main() was deprecated.

int main()
{
int state;
/* your code */



return state;
}

you can use ncurses
if you speak spanish you can read this manual: http://ditec.um.es/~piernas/manpages...l-ncurses.html

or you can browse for ncurses and C examples
