missing header file...

Hi,

I have been trying to run the program on visual studio c++ but it keeps giving me the error that alloc.h does not exist.
Is it that the new compilers donot have some of the header files and/or i need to have some other decalaration for it?

insert

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <alloc.h>

void main(){

               
        char *names[6];
        char n[50];
        char *p;
        int i, len;
        for(i=0;i<6;i++)
                printf("\n\r%u", names[i]);

        for(i  0;i< 6;i++){

                printf("Enter the number");
                scanf("%s",n);
                len = strlen(n);
                p = malloc(len+1);
                strcpy(p,n);
                names[i] = p;
        }

        for (i =0;i< 6;i++){
                printf("%s", names[i]);
        }


        /*for(i=0;i<6;i++){
        printf("Enter the names");
        scanf("%s", names[i]);
        }*/
}

What do you believe you need alloc.h for, if it existed? (Hint: malloc is in <stdlib.h>.)

Probably for the same reason he thinks he needs conio.h. ;)

Not to mention void main.

@OP, whatever book you're reading, throw it away.

In which case Salem's recommendation definitely applies.
