This code does not work

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

using namespace std;

int main()
{
time_t hold_t;
hold_t = time(NULL);
for(; ; )
{
cout << "\nThe time is " << hold_t << endl;
clrscr();
}
return 0;
}

it says clrscr(); is an undeclared identifier. This simple console application should work fine, but I dont' knwo why it doenst.

<conio.h> isn't standard. What compiler are you using?

Also, you don't update hold_t in your loop. It would just display the same time again and again.

And it would be hard to read, b/c clrscr() or any similiar func would cause a flickering effect if you put it in an unrestricted for loop.

if the clrscr() is your problem, you could try system("cls"); that usually works for me.
