Are you copying code from C for Dummies ? – Wilkins

Answer 1

conio.h is a C header file used in old MS-DOS compilers to create text user interfaces. It is not described in The C Programming Language book, and it is not part of the C standard library, ISO C nor is it required by POSIX.

Since you are on Linux, to resolve it don't include conio.h and don't use any functions from that header.

Especially if you are using Fedora ;) – Machos

FWIW, most people use conio.h just to use getch() so their program doesn't exit straight away in their IDE. There's a perfectly good standard alternative in getchar(): see https://mcmap.net/q/1477174/-2d-array-addition/… – Farlay

@paxdiablo, +1 for enlightening me on the possible source of this ridiculous behavior. – Oiler

@Mansoor But i am getting the same issue for stdio.h. why? Please explain. – Coons
