Clearing the Screen
So, I was wondering about how I would go about clearing the screen in the terminal. I've read that using system("cls") isn't the best way of doing it, so is there a better way than using a system command?
To my knowledge there is not one, but you can just use:
EDIT: Although I am not sure if there is enough to move to next screen, but you get the idea...

that \n repetition seems a bit overkill, all of those options seem like way more work than just using system("cls") too.
Is there anything wrong with using a system command other than the command is OS specific, because I was just wanting to clear the screen for a assignment I'm doing for my programming class and I thought that there would be an easy way to do it without spamming \n or writing a whole function. That really helps though Null, I'll have to remember that article if I ever need to clear the screen for programs I do outside of class.

as Disch said, you probably shouldnt want to clear the screen anyway, so why not use \n ;)
and there probably is a non OS specific, but that would be much more work then \n or the os
specific way..
