include non-standard conio.h header file.

Thank it works , but way i cant use the other conio.h commands like clrscr() ?

because conio.h is non-standard so not all compilers support it, and some compilers support only some functions. You's use it at your own risk of your program being non-portable to other compilers.

Maybe this link could help how to go about clearing the screen in a
console

You could also use a simple getchar() instead of the non-portable getch()
