    Gotoxy...

    I read about gotoxy in the faq. It was sort of confusing. Is it supposed to be written that way exactly? Or are some of those numbers or something? Could someone show me how it would be written in a program if there are numbers and stuff?

    I believe it's goto "label". label being user defined. Now be careful when using this construct, because 's very nasty if you have lots of them but I like them and use them from time to time.
    I believe most (if not all) of the major programming languages implement this construct but not all of the new books you buy nowadays mention them so get an old book, 'bout 5-10 years back, should show you how it's implemented in your language of choice.

    >>I believe it's goto "label".
    Believe it all you want, that won't make it true j/k
    He's refering to the gotoxy function that will move the cursor in the console to the point indicated in the arguments.

    If and only if your compiler supports the function
    gotoxy(10,10); printf("*");
    will place a '*' at the 10th column, 10th row of your screen.
