how do you clear the screen

i can't remember how to clear the screen,

i think it was somethink like this

syst cls;


but it is not working, do any of you remember???

system("cls");

Or, we could always look in the FAQ

also, if you have an old compiler and it doesn't support system calls, you can try including conio.h and using the clrscr() function when you want to clear the screen...

if your compiler supports system calls, i wouldn't bother with this though...

system() is best avoided, there are numerous reasons listed in the FAQ.

If you are working in Windows consoles, clearing the screen and other stuff is covered in my console tutorials.
