    gotoxy(x,y) does not work

    Hello,

    I am using Visual Studio C compiler.
    1.
    I use <dos.h> library in my program
    and the commands delay(n), gotoxy(x,y), clrscr().
    I get errors in linker.

    2.
    I use <time.h> library in my program
    and the command sleep(n).
    I get errors in linker.

    I tried to use Borland compiler and got also errors.

    How may I use these commands?

    Thanks for your help

    Use Windows functions if you are actually using Windows?

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    For the Borland compiler, you'll need to include the right library file. Conio.h is one of them that has goto(), and clrscr().

    delay() and sleep() are in dos.h.

    Post some code and let's take a look under the hood.
