Okay I'm trying to understand how to "refresh" or "clear" the screen in a C program.
I'm not sure if I'm describing what I'm trying to do well, so here's what I mean:
So far all I know how to do is outprint more under what I've outprint. For example:
Code:
printf("Print 1 statement\n");
printf("Print 2 statement\n");
printf("Print 3 statement\n");
And that would do the following in the comand promt when I run:
Print 1 statement
Print 2 statement
Print 3 statement
Okay, well, as one could see all the program is doing is outprinting more program after previous program. What I'm looking to do is:
Code:
And the command promt do this:
Print 1 statement
*erases command promt back to "empty"*
Print 2 statement
*erases command prompt back to "empty"*
Print 3 statement
Where each print statement is said, then erased, then the next is said in the same position of the previous. Is there a way to do this?
My "knowledge" of C is limited up to chapter 8 of my book (arrays) so I don't have a deep understanding of programming relative to many...otherwise I would probably have a solution for this myself.
Please help if you can. Thanks.
