Answer 1

Is this for the C language? I didn't think this function was exclusive to any certain OS. Is it not working for you?

its for c++

Answer 3

I think this is an outdated non-standard function defined in conio.h. I wouldn't use it

Answer 4

yes. so whats the alternative for it ?

Answer 5

There's nothing more than standard input as an alternative. Things like cin and getline. It's not event based though, so the user has to hit the enter key.
