Clear Screen Dev C++

  1. Clear Screen Dev C Windows 10

There are two ways to clear the screen in a console application. Example 1 The first method is to use the C run-time system function. The system function invokes the cls command provided by the command interpreter to clear the screen. Jul 19, 2005  C can not clear the screen, as indicated in the FAQ Victor pointed you to. 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. Aug 06, 2015  Display message and use of clear screen. /bass-amp-vst-free-download.html. Use Dev C 5.7.1 It is best. If having trouble to find it, send me your email id i will send to you. On Windows, you can clear the screen by using the 'cls' command; there is no 'clear' command on Windows. I was able to use the following code to clear the screen (command window) using Borland C 5.5.1 for Win32 on Windows XP.

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..

  • Assuming the terminfo call was successful, and the terminal type is a smart (not 'dumb' or 'tty') then you might as well use a terminfo (or termcap) clear screen instruction (clear / cl), rather than pushing multiple newlines, which can be slow on larger X-Window terminals, particularly across networks. – mctylr Feb 28 '10 at 1:06.
  • Clrscr It is a predefined function in 'conio.h' (console input output header file) used to clear the console screen. It is a predefined function, by using this function we can clear the data from console (Monitor). Using of clrscr is always optional but it should be place after variable or function declaration only.

@ Moschops: What jumper007 is seeing is that wxDev-C++ does not open your application inside of a shell that it made like Borland and Code::Blocks do. It allows the shell that the operating system is running to close after your application is finished running, which I personally prefer because it means that my IDE is not likely to cause problems when I go to test a program. Be careful with that bit about .h.hpp and .cpp files being the same, this is largely dependent on what linker you are using. Generally speaking header files are meant to be included, as in tell the compiler to write the contents of this file here, in line with the rest of the file below, before compiling the rest of this code. While .cpp files are meant to be linked to and compiled as stand alone pieces of the same executable. I'm sorry because I know I'm being pedantic, but for me it's these little things that are the toughest to 'unlearn' as I progress. I completley agree with your last statement a dev environment should never dictate to it's user what they can and can't do.
@ jumper007: I know, doesn't it stink when your school can't afford up to date software? I don't know about you but I nearley had to take out a second mortgage to get wxDev-C++, then having to get MingW! It's amazing anyone can afford this hobby! </sarcasm>
