(sorry if I have mistakes I barely know english) ty

Answer 1

Try to output "\x1b[0;39;49m2J" : this is the clear screen command for console with escape characters...
( '\x1b' is the hex char code for 1b -- 27 decimal -- in python, not sure you escape it by the same way in c++ )

If this work, you can change the end of the string by replacing '2J' by 1J for clear above cursor, and 0J for below ^^

Answer 2

???

Escaping char are language independant ^^

Try just:

cout <<< "test" <<< endl;
cout <<< "\x1b[0;39;49m2J";

... inside the main function: if you see "test", that's not working, else you will see a blank screen ;)
( I've verified the syntaxe of hex char code in c++ )

Must not work in SoloLearn code playground...

Answer 3

ty, but I have doubts if it works un c++ I suppose I need a void and not an int
