What is the proper ansi c example for windows?

Some books claim that they used ansi c and use turbo c compiler to run these example. i tried to run these on linux but I found that these example are only for windows.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
/* #include<dos.h> */
int main()
{
    int a;
    clrscr();
    scanf("%d", &a);
    printf("%d",a);
    getch();
    return 0;
}

Can I call the above example ansi c? why or why not?

Solution

  • As @milevyo said, those functions are implemented by Borland's compilers. On Windows you can replace clrscr() with system("cls") and getch(); with _getch(); or, even better, getchar().
