Play Sound in Your CPP Program

Till now, all of us have coded C++ programs on the black & white console, some know how to color the text on string.
Lets go a step ahead and introduce sound being played as your program runs.

Interesting, Right?
         Yes, you'll have a new effect to add in your code :-)

How to Do?
         The amazing sound feature consists of just two lines,
1. The PlaySound function call.
2. The header file that contains this function.

Code:
           
 #include<iostream.h>
 #include<conio.h>
 #include <string.h>
 #include <windows.h>
 using namespace std;
        
 int main()
 {
                 PlaySound("file_name.wav",NULL,SND_FILENAME|SND_LOOP);
 // PlaySound method is defined in windows.h
 // file_name is the name of your sound file in .wav format
 getche();
 return 0;
 }

Note:
 Your .wav file should be in the same location as that of ur .cpp file.
