Okay like here is an example

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello";
}

that outputs hello obviously. but how do I clear it off the screen so it no longer displays hello

Really so when i add another output it wont still show hello above it.

This is platform dependent (not standard C++, which is platform independent). It will require a system or API call. In Windows you could use:

#include <stdlib.h>

system("cls");

In Unix/Linux you would use:

#include <stdlib.h>

system("clear");

Have you tryed to start a new project (or whatever your's is called)?
If thats the case it will ask you if you wish to save it,then start a new window.

He's not talking about the program he uses to compile...he's talking about clearing the text on the prompt/shell

i tried doing this i couldnt figure it out i think it should happen automatically or someone could make an easy dll

See my post #2 above. This is platform-dependent. The code above will work for Windows or Linux respectively though it is very inefficient.
