Answer 1

You paste Turbo C code in a C# code, of course it doesn't work, syntactically extremely different. Besides, Turbo C is not following the latest standard, it is an outdated development tool, as much as possible try to avoid it.

I understand your school might obliged you to use it, but I think you might want to read the following discussion, about Turbo C & why we should avoid it and leave it behind.

Answer 2

Well first, you are trying to execute your code on the C# playground, which is a completely different language.

Second, your main method lacks a return type (should be int).

The biggest problem however, is that graphics.h is incredibly outdated and it's not a part of the C standard library.

The graphics library you're including is part of the Borland BGI API, and you won't be able to use it here.

Answer 3

That's not C#. Looks more like C++.
