did you try to compile ? It should works , but try to avoid magic numbers .

@Ericool
i did but turbo doesn't support many of the functions used in this. :(

that is really strange , but it seems that GetAsyncKeyState could be the issue. Could you try with a code similar to this :

#include <iostream>

    using namespace std;

int main()
{
    bool repeat = true;
    while (repeat)
    {
        cout << '*';
        Sleep(100);

        if (kbhit())
        {
            char ch = getch();
            switch (ch)
            {
                case 27:               // press ESC to exit
                    repeat = false;
                    break;
                case 32:               // press SPACE to clear screen
                    clrscr();

i need to run this program in turbo c++ which doesn't support windows.h and many new features.
Ericool (522)
that would be the issue then . Look at this thread , maybe you could find your solution.
Good luck :( .

@Ericool

really appreciate you help.
but that part was understood by me . The main problem was the text getting highlighted when the arrow key is pressed .

i couldn't find a solution to that.
