n00b win32 console question

I just started with C++ and started of with the hello world and just done some stuff with CIN but i wonder how to clear the screen after the user has typed something.. i want just a little program where he can add 2 number but when the user presses enter for the first number it should clear the screen and write it down for him (done it all except for the cls part) how to do this?




and also how can i define a string

1. On Windows, you can use system("cls");:

Code:

---

#include <cstdlib>

void somecode() {
    std::system("cls");
}

---

2. Like so:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    cout << "What's your name? " << flush;

    string nm;
    getline(cin, nm);

    cout << "\nHello " << nm << "!" << endl;
}
