You say for obvious reasons but I can't see anything that obvious. I
would suggest going back to the instructor and ask him
1) why are you mixing C and C++?
2) why are you using 'conio.h' which is meant to handle
platform specific I/0 as opposed to 'stdio.h' which is
the standard ANSI C header?
What I get from my reference material here at home is
"getch() - Reads a character without echo; does not wait for carriage
return; not defined by ANSI standard C, but a common extension."
This may mean a few things, possibly having to turn off ANSI compliance
or, worst case scenario, it may be a common extension but the supplier
of your compiler didn't. I'm sure your instructor has his reasons, i.e.
hiding character input of a password. Go back to him and get him to
give you a better bang for your education dollar on this one.

Subject: [newbie] conio.h file missing?
...
I'm making another C++ program for school, and we are using
cout << "press the any key to continue";
getch();
for obvious reasons.
My problem is that we're supposed to use conio.h file to define
getch(). It ain't there . . .
