or use carriage return (\r) in another cout to clear the previous one.
cout<<"hello";
cout<<"\rbye";

Answer 3

oh, but can you try to code onpc then? I do not really truat in SoloLearn compiler that much

Answer 4

It works on PC, but not on the SoloLearn app. Might as well start programming c++ on PC.

Answer 5

ohh yeah, definitely. Do not bother with c++ on the app, writing on PC gives you that full potential

Answer 6

Sorry but I can't get it to work. clrscr() gives an error saying it hasn't been declared, even though I have #include <conio.h>. /r doesn't do anything. I also tried some other stuff from the links, but they also failed.

For the record, I'm coding in the SoloLearn app.
