The system.h you are talking about is a non-standard header provided only by Borland. (well, I suppose some others have headers called system.h too, but none of those have a gotoxy function inside).

You can create a function like that quite easily using the WinAPI though.

would you like to tell me how i can use WinAPI ?? because i have no more knowledge about it ??

Note that it is nothing you can read, learn and apply within 5 minutes.

#include <windows.h>

void gotoxy( int column, int line )
  {
  COORD coord;
  coord.X = column;
  coord.Y = line;
  SetConsoleCursorPosition(
    GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ),
    coord
    );
  }

Hope this helps.
