Hi everyone!
Does anyone know, if it is possible to clear the screen in ANSI C?
If it is,then how?
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about ANSI ... but in the *nix world most shell programs
emulate the VT100 ... the following program will clear the screen.

This is exactly why off-topic questions should not receive
answers: often, the given "answers" are wrong.

The question is not off-topic, and there is a perfectly topical answer to
the perfectly topical question. That perfectly topical answer is "no".
