clear screen on sololearn

Question

Why can't I clear screen on solo learn as below :

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

int main ( )
{
cout << " Hi \n";
system("cls");
cout << "Hello\n";
return 0;
}

I need any means to print only Hello instead of Hi and Hello in two different lines on this application itself.. any thought would be of great help...

Answer 1

Other than omitting the first cout and system call...
The basic problem is that the output panel is not a terminal.

On the off chance a version of seek() would work I tried a few things. seekp() on stdout / cout looked promising, and while the stream does support seeking, nothing useful seems to happen.
Seeking to -1 prevents output, 0 does not overwrite, and \r (to return the 'carriage', or cursor) to position 0 fails.

Here's one I tried*; you have to add main() and call with a number.

If it worked, you'd see 1 line on 2 calls; I see 2.
