Thread: How do you erase display information once it's been entered onto the screen?

Hey Fellas,

I was wondering if I could write a simple code that erases the input display information once a user enters it. For example, I was going to write a simple program that asks for the user's name and then have the trailing display information erased from the program. Here's the code that I wrote:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()

{

char name [10];

cout << "May I have your name please?" << endl;

cin    >> name;

cin.ignore();

cout << "Hey, " << name;

cin.get();

return 0;

}

When the user enters their information their screen would look like this:

May I have your name please? You
Hey, You

....so my question basically is how do I get rid of "May I have your name please?" so that it looks like this on their screen:

Hey, You

Thanks in advance!
