I'm sure some kind of sleep function of sorts is probably provided for use with Milliseconds as the parameter I bet.. though I'm too lazy to look it up to verify.
Pointless side note: Maybe its just me, but infinite loops look better with a while statement rather than a for .. eh maybe I'm the only one.

I use system("cls") and it seems to work perfectly.Code:system("cls"); Advantages: None really. Disadvantages: Spawns a process to do the dirty work for you. It's bad for security reasons. For example, someone could map cls to another program, and yours would run it without realising.
Does the word "someone" or a program that is
already existing on your computer?
Even so, what could be so bad about the system clearing the screen on accident?
I believe the bad thing is when you accidentally download some virus that calls itself cls.exe. You come along and have this (unnecessary and annoying to many experienced users) attempt to clear the screen, but instead start this virus and hell ensues...
Or something like that.
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
