Just reading about conio.h … it seems:

After installing as you said, I am still getting error for functions like getch(), strrev. Please help

I’m not much of a programmer and I haven’t used C/C++ for quite a while, however:

  1. strrev doesn’t exist on linux. See link below.

  2. As the compiler says gets() is dangerous, don’t use it. See link below.

  3. There are several functions in conio.h that are meant to return a value but don’t, getch() is one of them. This just produces a warning, still compiles here.

  4. You seem to be using C, conio.h uses classes and as such needs to be c++, at least I can’t compile with gcc, but I can with g++. Perhaps I’m missing something.

  5. You’re not even using conio.h.

All mentions of conio.h refer to the linux version linked above. (I’ve not seen any other)

Neither the distribution nor vscode is to blame here.
A simple search with the internet search engine of you choice gives you the answer right away.
You’re better off on a C programming forum with your questions.

What’s your “book”? Is it vscode terminology, because I don’t use vscode. :man_shrugging:

The code you’ve shown us is a complete program (from a basic tutorial that doesn’t work on linux) which doesn’t use or even include conio.h bruh… :grin:

No getch() either. :slight_smile:

hello, m from Nepal. I do’nt know, but all the programs in my book have conio.h header.
About VS code, its nothing but my obsession to use it coz back in windows i was familiar with it.
Apart from those queries, i have small request to ask. Since I am very new to this interface, would you mind suggesting me any sort of reference(yt channel, forum pg or website) for getting a better idea on the file system, types, properties, basic terminal code structures and so on?
Thank You
