I ran into conio.h just a couple of days ago while reading Computing Fundamentals & C Programming 2nd ed by E Balagurusamy(2018), fortunately they were sample codes in introductory chapter, I guess I wont encounter it again in later chapters. If so then Ill just comment it out and devise a way of making the code work without using conio.h.

Arturop <conio.h> was generally used for 2 function :- 1) clrscr() - used to clear the screen of the shell ( you can easily find alternatives for this online depending on your OS) 2) getch() - used to pause the program at some point till the time user doesn't press a key. ( Alternative : use getchar() )

Arsenic, yes those were used in the codes, and clrscr() looked really interesting too bad it is not portable. 😅.
