Stop using Dev-C++.

conio.h is not standard C++ and there is no guarantee that other compilers come with it, and no guarantee that if they do, the functions work the same way.

Dev-C++ uses an old compiler with known problems. Use a more modern compiler that conforms to the C++ standard. For example, wxDev-C++ or the free express version of Microsoft Visual C++.

Your code may be right but it is only right in a certain compilers or a specific one. If u need a library perhaps for one compiler, it does not necessarily mean you will need it for another.

I recommend you to use Express Edition (Free) of Microsoft Visual Studio if you want to be really a programmer. You can find the VS from Microsoft site.
