conio.h is from the 1990s era, DOS operating system days. Its not available on all compilers and was never part of c++, its a third party library.

Even if I exclude conio.h then also it shows error!

perhaps you could copy the error message and tell us what it says?

Within a class, the size of arrays have to be stated. [] is not allowed.
