• The gotoxy() funtion is used to simply move the cursor on your monitor screen wherever desired.
• It is declared in the "conio.h" header file.
• It takes 2 parameters, gotoxy(int x, int y). The 1st parameter specifies the x-co-ordinate on the screen, i.e., horizontal position(from left to right) on the screen. The 2nd parameter specifies the y-co-ordinate on the screen, i.e., Vertical position(from top to bottom) on the screen. Thus, gotoxy(1,1) tells the compiler to move the cursor to the left-top-most corner of the screen.
• The use is demonstrated in the following example:

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

{

clrscr();

printf("This is the normal cursor position.");

gotoxy(36,25);

printf("This is the changed cursor position.");

getch();

}
