Please read FAQ 15.20. You can find FAQ

C++ can not clear the screen, as indicated in the FAQ Victor pointed you to.
However, you can ask the OS to do it for you. The most common ways to do
this are 'system("cls"); ' in Windows and system("clear") ;' in Linux. The
system function is defined in <process.h>

Huh? C++ can do a lot of things using the OS specific libraries. Dont say
C++ cannot clear the screen. Instead, you should say standard C++ cannot
clear the screen.

Huh? C++ can do a lot of things using the OS specific libraries. Dont say C++ cannot clear the screen. Instead, you should say standard C++
cannot clear the screen.
That's the only C++ we speak of here.
Thats what I said too... but dont misguide the OP by saying that C++
cannot
Misguide?
do this, or can do that. Guide him to an appropriate newsgroup. I am sure
you understand that.
But in all honesty, C++ cannot clear the screen. It's some OS-
specific library call that does that. Or sequence of characters
output to console or ... But it is not a language thing. And,
by the way, while there exist extensions to the language created
by some eager compiler vendors, there is only one C++ -- Standard.
That's what we mean when we say "C++ cannot do that". Another
example: can C++ read files? Yes. Can C++ read JPEG files? Yes.
Can C++ read and display JPEG files? NO. Displaying them is not
a language feature. C++ cannot do that. Not standard, not any
other C++. The same with clearing the screen.
Guiding others to a particular newsgroup is a voluntary thing. If
you stop me in the street and ask whether I could give you a lift
to a town a thousand kilometres away, I'll probably say "No, sorry,
I cannot do that", but I am not obligated to explain to you all
possible options you have or direct you to a bus station. It is
up to you to figure that out. (Of course it might be mighty kind
of me to point you to a bus stop, and I _probably_ would do that
if I knew where you were going -- The OP just asked whether there
was a way to clear the screen except outputting newline characters,
and there isn't). See the point?
Anyway...

I agree with you. But if you tell me that you cannot give me a lift to a
thown a thousand kilometers away doesnt mean that you should tell me that
there is no way I can go to that town. Thats what the other person did. He
said that C++ cannot... I am not saying that he or you HAVE to guide the OP
to an appropriate newsgroup, its voluntary ofcourse, but dont MISguide him
saying that it cannot be done. Get it?

No. Using the same analogy, the other person told you that you
can't get to another town in Victor's car. He didn't say that
clearing of the screen cannot be done. He said that clearing of
the screen cannot be done with C++. Get it?

Do you understand the difference between "it cannot be done" and
"it cannot be done using C++ means"? Saying the latter does NOT
imply the former, and in no way is misguiding. Get it?

I am trying to clear the screen in my program.

On Borland I used 'clrscr() ' function and it worked ok, but not for
