It is because you are using outdated turbo C++.

I reccommend to clear the course and upgrade your understanding.

Answer 2

The clrscr() is/was not part of the C/C++ standard. The needs for having an extension to add some facilities to the language such as clearing the terminal contents, setting the cursor position on the screen, etc. convinced the independent developers to implement such platform-specific versions of a library at that time. Nowadays you still can find the custom libraries on Github and SourceForge ¹
which do the same job for you.
The original implementation of the clrscr() for *nix platforms was nothing but a simple printf statement as

void clrscr() {
printf("\x1B[2J\x1B[0;0f");
}
