How to put the cursor to the previous line after using puts() in C++

Answer 1

Is puts() C++? No. Why do you use it? I assume you use Turbo C++...

In Turbo C++ (Though you shouldn't use it as it is deprecated), we have a gotoxy() function under <graphics.h>.

You use it in the following way :

gotoxy(2,2); cout<<"Hello";

To set the Cursor Position in Code::Blocks, you may use SetConsoleCursorPosition in the following way , and include <windows.h> in your program...

void GOTO(int x, int y)
{
HANDLE out = GetStdHandle (STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
COORD pos = {x,y};
SetConsoleCursorPosition(out,pos);
}

Then use it in the following way :

GOTO(2,2); cout<<"Hello";
