getmaxx() and getmaxy() error

[Akshit]

1)I suppose that these functions return maximum x and y screen coordinates.
But when I used them they returned 0.

cout<<getmaxx()<<" "<<getmaxy();

0 0

2)I used textcolor(2) and textbackground(1) after these codes.But the output of above code(0 0) was printed in these settings.Is it like this only or problem?

3)Also is to possible to create a window with

window(1,1,0,0);
I used first time graphics.h for these functions.Knows a little or nothing about using graphics in c++.

Using Turbo c++ version 3.0

What is the problem? Try initgraph(). :)
I think it is the function that should be called in very beginning of a program before using a graphic mode.
