Answer 1

As you can see here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682119%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

CORD is a struct and contains two values, the x value and the y value.

Answer 2

You can implement it like this:

COORD cord;
cord.X=10;
cord.Y=10;
SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ),cord);
cout<<"*";

This will print "*" at screen coordinates (x,y)=(10,10)
