college compiler vs home compiler

Question

so basically when i do C++ on the school computer we start it off as

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main(void)

but when i tired the same it didn’t work on here or on any other compiler. Now i’m fairly new to the whole coding field so i have no clue as to why. so i was hoping one of u had answers.

Answer 1

I thought conio.h was deprecated many years ago🤔

Answer 2

Look like your college is using ancient dos based compilers ( most probably borland or turbo c++ compiler ).
Those things are almost 40+ years old technology and obsolete to current standards.
It is much better to learn programming on a much modern compiler that abides to current C++ standards like gcc or clang instead wasting your time learning something prehistoric like turbo cpp.

Answer 3

What is the definition of college and home compiler?
