Why he said it?!

Answer 1

Your professor is a wise man if he said so!
The problem with such obsolete IO utility function comes from the fact that the conio.h extension was not part of the C standard. By the time, ISO folks after lots of deliberation decided to kick its ass and throw it away from the C's ecosystem forever . So, now, we rarely see compilers that supports old days masterpiece! But if you'd like to reminisce the past, there are some conio-like libraries out there that you could look into them. Just Google "download conio.h".
