Why do we use <Conio.h> in c programming?

Why do we use #include <conio.h> and getch() ; in some of the programs written using C programming language? How does it affect the Output ?

Full form of getch is get character.So,what it does is on pressing any key (which takes a character in a way)shows the output.And its function is understood to hold the output screen... #include<conio.h> It is a header file used in c and cpp and it includes inbuilt functions like getch() and clrscr().It stand for console input ouput i.e. it takes input from keyboard and displays it on screen.

Common in built function like getch() clrscr() stored in <conio.h> header files. to use this function we are including <conio.h> header file and the getch() function is used to hold the output screen for a while in the sense till any key is pressed.

Include command helps you to import functions from libraries, so you can add desired features to your code. Importing/Including libraries never affect your code, just adds new functions you can use. At this case, the library Conio.h imports functions like getch() and a lot of other functions you can use.
