How can I convert C code to C++ in Visual Studio 2003 .NET?

[UNIQNESS]

I tried to convert from C++ to visual C++ .NET but got many errors. (I haven't used C in years) If anyone can do this for me, I'd really appreciate it.

Please convert the following to visual C++ .NET code (to run on microsoft visual studio 2003 .NET):

thanks in advance

[edit]Sorry, I meant to mention that I need to convert this to c++ visual .NET. I only learned c++ visual .NET and I'm not very familiar with some of the commands in c++ (even though they are very similar). The way arrays are arranged in that code is very different from how i learned it. Oh, and this is not for an assignment. I'm doing this to impress my girlfriend since she's learning matrices in her math class. Sorry, I meant to mention that I need to convert this to c++ visual .NET.

1) If this is some kind of homework assignment, we won't do it for you.

2) It appears to be pretty atrocious code to begin with.

3) C++ is a superset of C, so anything written in ANSI C should compile just fine with a C++ compiler.

And, incidentally, visual studio has a vanilla C compiler. (At least the version with which I'm familiar)

I don't think this is an assignment since only a few minor changes were needed to compile under gcc. The errors are mainly caused by the use of Borland extensions that are not part of the standard language (notably clrscr and getch). I just replaced getch and commented out clrscr to get it to compile. I can't say if this code actually works but the new version is below.

Note: do not use Visual C++ 6.0, it pre-dates the standard and is therefore not compatible with a number of standard C++ expressions. Plus it has some nasty bugs. If this is what you are stuck with then at least get the service packs. Better yet, move on to Code::Block or Dev-C++ which come packaged with gcc, a much better compiler. Both are free.

Technical note: C++ is not a strict superset of C, it has a few constructs that differ from C so an occasional valid C program may not compile under C++. But it's uncommon and required changes are often minor.

if the problem is just getch and clrscr just dump the conio include in there.
