Well, I don't know if there are any tools available. But as far as I know both languages are having totally different approches. C is Function oriented where as C++ is Object Oriented. Now if you want to port the code from C to C++ [I mean real object oriented code and not just making it runnable with C++ compiler and look like C++ code] then you need to rework on design of application.

You can Identify objects and entities from C++ and rebuild the application using old logics you used in C programs.

But if you want porting programs then sorry from my side sad3.gif . I really don't know any. huh.gif

What code do you want to convert?

Almost any code that compiles with C, compiles fine with C++ as well.

C++ provides some extra features which cannot be used in traditional C.

Because ".h" header is the old version..so i would like convert it to the latest...which i need to use the getch() and getche() functions...

.h is a header file, not and old version.
yes getch() has been depreciated, but you can still use _getch() if you wish, it is still backwards compatable for now.
there is also cin.get();

It should be noted that the conio.h library itself is platform specific, and the use of the getch() function does not conform to standards. Better to use the method mentioned by WW, or another standards compliant method.
