  20. LearnCOnline says:

    You will find a [x] button on the right top of the screen. Click on that button and you will see the code screen.
    Else go to file menu and click on open file and navigate to the location where you have saved your file and click open.

      Hello, I guess you have installed turbo C++ incorrectly. It seems that turbo C++ is unable to locate the files “conio” and “stdio”. Please try re-installing it.
