How to clear screen in c++ ?

Mainly when we are working with console application in C/C++ we come across some scenario where we need clear screen using C++ or C programing language.

There are many different ways available for c++ clear screen.

C++ clear screen in turbo C++ compiler

In Turbo c++ compiler you can use clrscr (); for clear screen.

For c++ clear screen you will require to add conio.h header file.

C++ clear screen in Visual C++ or other IDE

For clear screen in C++ you can use system(“CLS”);

You will require to add standard library header file <stdlib.h>

You can also use system command with clear also example: system(“clear”); It is normally used in POSIX.

Flushing output stream by flush

You can add flush at the end for cout.

cout << “Flushing the output stream.” << flush;

Clear screen in C++ in both Windows and Linux:

cout << "\033[2J\033[1;1H";

This is special string which is similar to clrscr();

c++ clear screen without SYSTEM(“cls”)

cout << string( 100, '\n' );

This is not efficient way but by adding many \n it will automatically clear current screen.

Also in C++ if want to flush we can use cout.flush() function also.
