Hi,<br />
<br />
I am writing some code that will be used on a linux machine on the command line. &nbsp;I was wondering if there is a way to clear the screen (just like using the 'clear' command at the bash prompt) without using the curses library etc?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.
