Conio.h functions
The Borland Turbo C++ compiler supports "conio.h," but the GCC compiler doesn't. Beginner C/C++ programmers and some books use this file, but it isn't recommended to use it in your software/application. To write portable C language programs, don't use this file. There are also many other header files similar to this one.
