How can I clear the screen in a Console App? I can't find clrscr()!

 VC++ has no equivalent to clrscr(). However, you can get around it in two ways:

1. Using system("cls");
2. Using FillConsoleOutputCharacter() and FillConsoleOutputAttribute() from the Console API defined in wincon.h. See the reference for a sample.
