Clear Screen with Kotlin

Question

Any one know if there's a keyword to clear the screen from all things u've already done... For example we use "System("CLS");" in C++ to do that...

Answer 1

terminal screen could only be cleared with escape sequences (invisible commands in strings output), if your terminal support them...

I guess that 'System("CLS");' should do something like this under the hood, but probably not cross-platform (terminal) compatible ^^

by the way, I think that escape sequences are handle same in java and kotlin:
