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
}
In Turbo C, you can set the cursor position using the gotoxy() function. This function takes two parameters: the x (column) and y (row) coordinates, allowing you to position the cursor anywhere on the screen similar to WordPad. For example, gotoxy(10, 5); will move the cursor to the 10th column of the 5th row. To use this function, ensure you include the conio.h header file in your program.

There is no system header called share.h, but if there were, it would be: #include <share.h>
conio.h is a header file used in C and C++ programming, particularly in DOS-based systems. It provides functions for console input and output, such as gotoxy() for cursor positioning and clrscr() for clearing the screen. Although it was widely used in older compilers like Turbo C++, it is not part of the standard C library and is largely considered obsolete in modern programming environments.
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.
It's in conio.h, but don't use gotoxy. Use SetCursorPosition() instead.
C programs do not require header files. If you want a C program without header files, you can simply not create them. However, you may or may not be able to include your non-header file source files.

Look for typedef in it, but I don't think you will find any.

The header file for random functions ( like rand(), srand() ) is stdlib.h in C and cstdlib in C++.

For start: they are header files.

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.
