Can you post your code, so we can see the problem?

the code :D

# include <iostream.h>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
# include <conio.h>
int n=6,m=49,ll=0,ul=49,i,j,pn[50],cn[50],aux[50],o1,o2,o3,o4,o5,o6,temp,ok;
void main_menu()
{
clrscr();
cout<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl;
cout<<"			Alien Software International";
cout<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl;
cout<<"			         Loto Game";
cout<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl<<endl;
cout<<"	Main Menu";
.............

i have several functions like this and for each of them returns the same error when i compile :

in function menu()
"clrscr()" undeclared (first use this funnction )

My think that your comiler dosn't have an implementation of clrscr().

You may have downloaded the standard MinGW compiler, which has nothing "Borlandish." You may try Googling "Dev-C++ Borland" or summat and you can probably find something to use. :)

else if(borlandCompilers == 0)
{
 system("cls");
}

tried with Dev ++ Borland compiler but the same error...i also downloaded the C++ Builder...but cant manage to compile with that one :(

pls help me

[Zaita]

It's #include <iostream> not # include <iostream.h> .

also.

clrscr() is a presumptuous Borland fetish. Not every user of your program wants it!!!

In Dev C++ you can use system("CLS") to do the trick, the old DOS command. Include the stdlib.h for the system() function.

[ioanmih]

done with system("cls") but still this error on compile

32:2 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\backward\backward_warning.h #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header. Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> header for C++ includes, or <iostream> instead of the deprecated header <iostream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.

# include <iostream.h>
# include <stdio.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
# include <conio.h>
int n=6,m=49,ll=0,ul=49,i,j,pn[50],cn[50],aux[50],o1,o2,o3,o4,o5,o6,temp,ok;
void main_menu()

tryed to use only iostream instead of iostream.h but than it doesn recognize any functio of cout,cin and rest...:(

[QWERTYman]

1. using namespace std will make that function nonrecognition go away. Just stick it under the header files.

b. use <iostream>, <cstdio>, <cstdlib>. System("cls") doesn't need <conio.h>, or any header for that matter.

Hope this helps. (Sorry duoas, I took your line.)

[ioanmih]

thanks..but what you mean by using namespace std will make that function nonrecognition go away???

[Nandor]

the iostream,fstream,conio etc headers are declared in the namespace std...

[ioanmih]

please explain me how to use that...i'm only a c++ beginer :( with not much experience :(

[Nandor]

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

[QWERTYman]

Thanks Nandor, I've been away for a while.

[ioanmih]

thanks ;)
