Thread: Coordination in C++

Can someone tell me if there is any error in my codes?
The compiler is able to compile and run the program
but I can't get the result I want.

Please help me.

I am using a gotoxy function.
I want to output a "@" character on a particular coordinate.

Here are my codes:

Code:

#include <cstdlib>#include <iostream>
#include<windows.h>


using namespace std;


    void gotoxy (int x, int y)
    {
         COORD coordination;
         coordination.X = x;
         coordination.Y = y;
         SetConsoleCursorPosition(HANDLE(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),coordination);
    };
    
int main()
{
    int x;
    int y;
    char w = '@'; 
       
    cout<<"Enter x: ";
    cin>>x;
    cout<<"Enter y: ";
    cin>>y;
       
    gotoxy(x,y); 
    cout<<w;
    
    system("PAUSE");
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

You've answered your own question, no the program is not correct if you're not getting the result you want.

Now as to the actual problem you'll need to tell us what result your program is producing and exactly what output you want your program to produce.

The main problem is that this program is not C++.

Now as to the actual problem you'll need to tell us what result your program is producing and exactly what output you want your program to produce.

For example, I want to output @ on coordination (5,5). That's the objective of this program.

and what happens when you try to do that?

@ was not output exactly where I wanted it to be.
Here's the sample of the output:
