Thread: Help with alternative of gotoxy()

Please can any one help regarding an alternative for gotoxy function. Like in the this program snippet I wish to goto the previous line . Is their anything defined in standard C++ which may help me to do so.

Code:

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

int main()
{
           clrscr();
           
           
           for( int i=0;i<=79;++i)
           {
                
                if(i==0)
                 cout<<char(201);                                              
                else if(i==79)
                 cout<<char(187);
                else
                 cout<<char(205); 
           }
                   
           getch();
           
           for( int i=0;i<20;++i)
           {
                 cout<<"\b";
           }      
           
           getch();
}

Is their anything defined in standard C++ which may help me to do so.

No.

You'd need to use a library like ncurses.
