In Linux you can use getpass() function. And for alternative see this.

@its_vishuuuu It's better to use MSVC Compiler on Windows and follow [learncpp](https://www.learncpp.com/) for learning basic of C++ and see [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/388282/9248466) link for a book. – Ghasem Ramezani Nov 12 '19 at 06:51

If you are using a Linux console, then after each character is read, print char(8) (Ctrl-H), which is backspace, then print an asterisk to overwrite the character that was just input.

That makes a difference. I added the [tag:windows] tag for you. The more details you give us, the better that we can help you. Good luck – Mawg says reinstate Monica Nov 12 '19 at 06:45
Sir then what will i use if i dont use goto – its_vishuuuu Nov 12 '19 at 07:47
`while (1)` will loop forever, but your code should probably not loop if the password is valid :-) So, make a variable `validPassword`, initialize it to zer0, use `while (validPassord == 0` and `if(check!=0) validPassword = 1`; – Mawg says reinstate Monica Nov 12 '19 at 08:59
So, but we don't do homework here. You have all the information that you need. Try your best, and if it doesn't work, post another question. I don't mean to be cruel, but you won't learn if others write your code. In the worst case, hand it in with the` goto` & have your teacher or lecturer tell you why `goto` is bad. – Mawg says reinstate Monica Nov 12 '19 at 10:26
what is printf("%c",177); – its_vishuuuu Nov 12 '19 at 12:22
That prints ascii character 177 - see https://www.rapidtables.com/code/text/ascii-table.html - character 8 is backspace – Mawg says reinstate Monica Nov 12 '19 at 12:25
