There is no such function as gotoxy(). It was originally a standard function in conio.h, used to set the console cursor position, but it was deprecated because it was non-portable. While it may still exist in older C compilers, its usage would be frowned upon today and no known C or C++ compiler should support such a function these days.

You are free to "roll your own" version of the function, of course. The following version works on Windows only. But given how little it actually adds to what already exists, and its non-portable nature it hardly seems worthwhile.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

#include <windows.h>

// Standard version:

void gotoxy( COORD c )

{

SetConsoleCursorPosition( GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE ), c );

}

// Overloaded version emulating original gotoxy function:

void gotoxy( int x, int y )

{COORD c;c.X = x;c.Y = y;

gotoxy( c ); // call standard version

}

A function is declared in C header file When you try to implement in a c source file it is giving error?

The source file must include the header file. Beyond that we can only guess at the problem without seeing the content of the source and header files. Do not post the files here. Such questions are better handled by the many C programming forums available elsewhere on the Internet.


How can you create a headerfile in a c?

Create the header file as a .h file in the same way you create a source file, .c and place it in the same directory as the .c files. To incorporate it, use the... #include "my_header_file.h" ... directive. Note that there are double quotes instead of greater/less signs. This tells the compiler to look first in the source directory.
