c++ alternative for getch() and clrscr()

Question

I use code::blocks 10.05 for compiling C++.

But I cannot use

getch()

It says unknown. When I #include <conio> it says unknown library. So what is the alternative to be able to use getch in C++?

Answer 1

Try #include <conio.h>

Works fine on my machine (Windows and Linux, mingw compiler for Windows). As I know Code::Blocks uses gcc compiler.

Answer 2

Header files with .h extension are different from those without h extension , you may refer this C++ includes with and without .h
