[...] CodeBytes is the classical coding championship which has the highest turnout amongst all the events under Param. It is to be held tomorrow, 8th Oct. This time this event has been changed quite a lot. The first round is the prelims which contains less than even 20 questions and more than an hour given to solve. Debugging and writing the output of code snippet has been given more importance. Only those who have good understanding of C/C++ are bound to clear this stage. The lab round is not that puzzle round as it used to be. The questions will be quite simple, put the efficiency of the program will be taken into consideration. We would give them simple questions, the marking is to be done on the total execution time of the program. The POSIX time command will be used to calculate the total execution time. People are required to code in Dev C++ with MinGW as compiler. This portable code will then be transferred to Linux systems, compiled using g++ and then using time command, tested for total time use. Note: Turbo C++ is not allowed. We highly discourage this old and crappy compiler. [...]

Well, Actually clrscr() and getch() have been included in curses.h. But mam many other commands have not been accepted..

like gotoxy(), graphics.h, dos.h and many other header files.

GCC rocks.!!!

its really a shame that we are being taught on Turbo C++ while most of the (good) colleges have gcc

For user interface you need a toolkit for Graphical Frontend. If you want to use traditional C/C++ and use gcc/g++ compiler, you can have access to gtk or qt graphical toolkit for making your apps.

Or jump to C#.NET if you are a fan of Microsoft Technology. Or maybe you can find yourself comfortable with Visual C++

Yes Manish.

We are being taught C++ with Turbo C++ in our senior secondary classes.

And I really love to know, how can we have User Interfaces for programs coded on C++ .

I agree with you fully, when we started using Turbo c++ 2yrs back i had downloaded Dev c++ to code my programs in ANSI standard,IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN TC++

eh…stdio.h is a part of the standard C library (libc) as prescribed by ANSI standards. What you probably meant that it isn’t a part of the C library for standard C++, which is absolutely right:)
ANSI C++ has the C library too, but with different names. In this case cstdio for stdio.h . The full list could be found here
