clrscr() in visual c++

[pemorej]

i want to use clrscr() in visual c++ but it wont work. the error is "undeclared variable". does this mean that ihave to declare the clrscr? it doesnt make sense.

Now, I don't know anything about C++! And I don't know how variables are introduced to C++; although I intend to learn. However, are Variables not displayed as 'Var'?

Either way, clrscr(), doesn't sound like a Variable - maybe you need a variable to control the clrscr()?

Yes, It looks like you would need to declare it. Try that and let us know what happens.

unfortunately clrscr() function is located in conio.h header file and conio.h was created by Borland. (In Dev C++ help .. u saw this). I don't know witch version of Visual c++ you have but try this :

#include <conio.h>
If this doesn't work try :
#include <conio.h>
#include <conio.c>

//Please note thet you must have this files in your Include folder (you can find Include folder in your VC++ instalation folder)

Simple

Well if u have included iostream and u are using namspace u can do it simple

sysyem("cls");

or by including stdlib and then doing same sysyem("cls");

just quick correction to ensure typo doesn't confuse anyone:
system("cls");
