How do I clear the console in BOTH Windows and Linux using C++

Question

I need a cross platform solution for clearing the console in both Linux and Windows written in C++. Are there any functions in doing this? Also make note that I don\'t want

Answer 1

Well there is a very close alternative to clearing the screen. You could try using a for loop that repeats new lines a lot. For example:

for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
  printf ("\n\n\n\n\n");
}

After you do this loop the terminal wan't allow you to scroll back to where you were at the top, an unprofessional approach with common sense pretty much. It does not directly answer what you are asking but it can work.
