What error message do you get?

[Albatross]

Odd. I'm not sure why it doesn't recognize clrscr() when it recognizes getch().

-Albatross

P.S. - Even though the C language (I believe) will let it slide, it's still a good idea to explicitly specify that main() returns an int. C++, however, will not.

error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
error C3861: 'clrscr': identifier not found

error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

main()
{
   return 0;
}

well do you see why that error cames out??

error C3861: 'clrscr': identifier not found

it is not found because first error isn't resolved.
resolve first error, then clrscr will work just fine.

[bluecoder]

can you past your code . so that we can see it .
ok ..got it ..
try to use .

int main()
{
            return 0;
}

At the end of the day, how important is it that you clear the screen (an operation that goes against console programming philosophies) anyway?

[ne555]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conio.h "The library functions declared by conio.h vary somewhat from compiler to compiler" clrscr() is not listed there.

¿Why you don't copy-paste your code?

[codekiddy]

@imbaegod

how about using namespace std ???

[Albatross]

@codekiddy
He's using pure C. C doesn't have namespaces.

[codekiddy]

Albatros,

He's using pure C. C doesn't have namespaces

I'm not shore about that since he is receiving errors related to C++ not C:

error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int

but maybe am I missing something here :/

[1vRz3TCk]

The code is C, compiled with a C++ compiler.
conio.h is a non-standard header, so there is no guarantee of what is declared in it.
