Guys, good day.
i got this code and it runs but i didn't gets its syntax.
anyone have an explanation or data about this?
thanks.
i am using bloodshed dev c++ compiler
you are very much appreciated.
Code:void color(int colorNum) { //colors HANDLE hConsole; hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, colorNum); //colors } void gotoxy(int x, int y) { COORD coord; coord.X = x; coord.Y = y; SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord); }

What do you need?Originally Posted by jerico

i need an explanation about the syntax of this:
why is it in that format?Code:void color(int colorNum) { //colors HANDLE hConsole; hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, colorNum); //colors } void gotoxy(int x, int y) { COORD coord; coord.X = x; coord.Y = y; SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord); }
thanks
HANDLE is something like pointer to "something", here the console.
COORD is a struct with a "x" and a "y" member.
What do you mean by format? Its indentation?

i mean how it is contruct.
void color(int colorNum)
{
//colors
HANDLE hConsole;
hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, colorNum);
//colors
}
for example:
why is it (hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)
is declared as this.
i mean i want to know what is the required format for color and for goto function.
You figure it out by reading about each function on MSDN. They're all Win32 API calls.
GetStdHandle Function (Windows)
SetConsoleTextAttribute Function (Windows)
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
