Guessing the header file

Computer Science Level 2

In C++ name the header file which enables

clrscr()

and

getch()

functions.

Note:I don't have many followers so please share it so that everyone gets to see it. :) Regards

include<iostream.h>

include<conio.h>

include<stdio.h>

include<ctype.h>

Sorry, Conio.h is not a part of the standard C++ library

Yeah, that was pretty obscure... if you want to use it with standard C++, you can do something like this:

// somewhere in the program
// WINDOWS is defined 

void console_clear_screen() {
     #ifdef WINDOWS
     system("cls");
     #endif
     #ifdef LINUX
     system("clear");
     #endif
}

clrscr(); and getch(); requires the header file conio.h i.e #include <conio.h>

Hello please tell me the scope of programming in industries

This is for Turbo C++. Other compilers may not compile this

use "_getch()" (underscore+getch) in visual studio.And clrscr is not available in visual studio.i think because screen is automatically cleared everytime you run your code on visual studio.

clrscr(); and getch(); requires the header file #include <conio.h>

I am sorry if the question wasn't clear.

getch() : used to hold the output screen so that the user can see the output and clrscr() : removes random unwanted text from screen.

I believe there are several alternatives to them that can be used while programming but in the question only their header file was asked.The answer is (#include (conio.h))

(#include (iostream.h)): enables input and output.
