it's gcc

i've read some articles saying that, to be able to use clrscr() you need to include conio.h..

MAINLY IN GCC , THE FUNCTIONS LIKE CLRSCR() wont work ... because i too had this problem,,,,, use system("cls"); function which will be in stdlib.h.... this function is nothing but functions connecting directly to DOS.....
