I wonder how can u use linux's command like "clear" in c++.

try system("clear");

thx for reply. it does work but what i actually wanna do is, i'm making a game called game of life. i wanna play the iteration on terminal but i dont know how

for example :
first generation:
- - - - -
- - * - -
- - * - -
- - * - -
- - - - -


second generation:
- - - - -
- * * * -
- - - - -
- - - - -

i wanna show the both generation on screen at a time like this picture

Try

Code:

int main(void)
{
        char buf[65536];
        // Fully buffered -- only writes to terminal on fflush()
        setvbuf(stdout, buf, _IOFB, 65536);

        // Clear terminal with escape codes
        printf("\x1b[H\x1b[2J");
        // print a bunch of stuff
        ...
        fflush(stdout); // make it show up on the terminal all in one go
}
