Answer 2

its used to place the cursor at a specific x, y location.  

Answer 3

gotoxy() is a graphical  function defined in the <conio.h> for DOS . It's used to position the mouse cursor at a specific pixel on the screen .

Exampel, gotoxy(10,10) will position the cursor at x coordinate = 10 and y

coordinate = 10 .

The x coordinate  starts from the top left edge of ur screen and goes to he right incrementing  , while the y coordinate starts fro mthe top left as well but incrementing to down .
