Clear Console Dev-c++

The danger is that when you directly execute a program, it gets the same privileges as your program - meaning that if, for example, you are running as system administrator then the malicious program you just inadvertently executed is also running as system administrator. If that doesn't scare you silly, check your pulse. Oct 10, 2016  For the Love of Physics - Walter Lewin - May 16, 2011 - Duration: 1:01:26. Lectures by Walter Lewin. They will make you ♥ Physics.

Is there anyway we can clear only a selected part of the console window?
clrscr() from conio.h & system('CLS') clears the whole screen.
So how to clear screen selectively?

For example, one of my old code prints this,

But i want it to be like this, just after the user enters the last element.

may be u can use a loop of cout<<endl; statement to get the desired output
or try with graphics.h filling that part of the output with background colour

how to clear screen in dev c++ (12)

For pure C++

You can't. C++ doesn't even have the concept of a console.

The program could be printing to a printer, outputting straight to a file, or being redirected to the input of another program for all it cares. Even if you could clear the console in C++, it would make those cases significantly messier.

C++ Clear Console

See this entry in the comp.lang.c++ FAQ:

OS-Specific

If it still makes sense to clear the console in your program, and you are interested in operating system specific solutions, those do exist.

For Windows (as in your tag), check out this link:

Edit: This answer previously mentioned using system('cls');, because Microsoft said to do that. However it has been pointed out in the comments that this is not a safe thing to do. I have removed the link to the Microsoft article because of this problem.

Libraries (somewhat portable)

ncurses is a library that supports console manipulation:

• http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ (runs on Posix systems)
• http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/ncurses.htm (somewhat old Windows port)

Dev C++ Clear Console

For Linux/Unix and maybe some others but not for Windows before 10 TH2:
