Function clrscr in C and C++

Question

Does today\'s C or C++ compilers use the clrscr system function?

Answer 1

Also, as an alternative to conio.h, you can try using ncurses, which provides terminal handling, cursor management, colors and a lot of other functionalities. In particular, it provides the clear() function with a similar functionality to the clrscr() function you mentioned. For Windows (which must be your case), there is PDCurses that employs the same API. In particular, ncurses complies with the XSI Curses base specification, and it is widely adopted; you should stick to it if any degree of portability matters.
