What is gotoxy() and how i can use this in the dev c++ compiler and on visual studio.

Question

Please tell me by use it in a small project and also explain it

Answer 1

Write exactly SetConsoleCursorPosition

Answer 2

The correct syntax is : gotoxy(int,int);
actually this is present in 'conio.h' which is not standard I think gotoxy() won't work in DEV-C++ but it would work perfectly in TurboC compliers
