Why can't I run even system("cls") in Code Playground?

Even if the console had just this function, Some of my C++ codes would become a lot better than before. Is there any alternative that I can use here?

What system("cls") actually does is calling the CLS (CLear Screen) command in Windows CMD (Command Prompt). Therefore there's no way to replicate this behaviour in Code Playground to my knowledge. P/S: Try type "cls" without quotes in Windows CMD and you'll get what I mean.

I realize now that they don't want people messing with the server. But if they can't give cls, can't they give us a cursor setting function like SetConsoleCursorPosition() from windows.h? //BTW, <windows.h> can be included here on SoloLearn, plus its functions are even recognized by the intellisense part of CodePlayground, and those functions just don't work as expected. // Plus those functions don't even return errors...
