• This is the tutorials section. The correct forum is right above this one. Use your eyes.
  
  
• I don't think getch is standard. Try using std::cin.get()
  
  eg:
  
  

  code:

  #include <iostream> int main() {         char ch;         std::cout << "Enter a character: ";         ch = std::cin.get();         std::cout << "You entered " << ch << std::endl; }

If I recall correctly, getch() is a standard C method, which can probably be found in <cstdio>, or if you are using C, stdio.h.

Wouldn't it be C++ for stdio.h?

The stdio.h header is a C header file. C++ and C are different languages that just happen to be mostly compatible. The "cstdio" C++ header exists to wrap stdio.h up so you don't have to worry about the differences between C and C++ when you use it.
