background color

[sharon veronica]

can i know what is the code for background?

Please, don't use system("color"). This works more or less the same, using windows.h:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
void SetColor(int value){
SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), value);
}

int main(){
SetColor(/*Number*/);
cout << "I'm in color!";
/*Your favorite pausing goes here*/
}
