Newb question - Clear command line screen?

Is there an easy way to clear the screen of characters?

I've made a simple equation solver, but after solving several equations the screen gets kind of messy. Since it essentially just re-runs itself over and over, is there a simple way to clear the command line screen at the end of each calculation?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've had no luck finding any information elsewhere about this.

Thanks!

P.S. this is run in windows, and I'd rather not add any new .h files.

have you read a FAQ? http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385

Thanks man.

I used the search function, and google but I had no luck for some reason.

Much appreciated.

Seems odd that there wouldn't be a simple way to do this that's platform independent, but thanks

There are platforms where terminal does not exists, stdout could be connected to the file, printer or something else... standard C function should still work in such envirounment - no much sense to clear screen there...
