Library Creation

Code:

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


void center(char txt[60], int height)
{


	int number, spaces;

	number = strlen(txt);
	spaces = 40 - number/2;

	gotoxy (spaces,height);
	cout << txt << endl;

}

how would i put this into a library so i could use this for any program.

you want it static or dynamic?

/btq

im not sure what that means. What ever works best and is simplest.

>What ever works best and is simplest.

It depends what you want to do with it?

Do want other people with different compilers to use your library? Or is just for yourself?

Static means never changing

Dynamic means it changes.

i would like it to be never changing

i just want it for myself

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <string>

#ifndef _CENTRE_H
#define _CENTRE_H

void gotoxy(int x, int y)
{
   COORD coord;
   coord.X = x;
   coord.Y = y;
   SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), coord);
}

void center(char txt[60], int height)
{
	int number, spaces;

	number = std::strlen(txt);
	spaces = 40 - number/2;

	gotoxy (spaces,height);
	cout << txt << endl;
}

#endif

Stick that in a header file, call it "centre.h" or "center.h" if you're a yank. Then, place it in the directory of the program you're attemping to compile and #include "centre.h"
