Thread: conio tutorial

searching google gave me all kinds of C++ tutorials that "include" conio.h, does anybody know a good tut/ref for conio?

I really don't think this would work at all, since "try" is a c++ keyword ( which would generally make it off-limits as a function name) . You might consider renaming the function to something like "aspire", or "attempt", but I admit it just doesn't have the same ring to it. You also might consider a different format completely, such as:

Code:

You you;

while(true)
{
    try {
        ToFigureItOut(you);
        break;
    }
    catch( YourMistake& m )
    {
        // Post msg to newsgroup, updating you
        PostToNewsgroup(m.msg, you);
    }
}

This at least uses the keyword correctly, although I'm not sure what the effects will be on overall efficiency given the overhead of throwing exceptions, and the number of mistakes that people generally make. Also, you would have to take into consideration that some people will never get it, so the loop really can't go on infinitely. I would say that a loop of 10 would be more than enough for any reasonably intelligent person.

But hell, your code might work...I dont know because I didn't try to compile it.

Thanks!
BTW, I'm using MSVC++ 6
