Sadly I didn't find any good method. The clearScreen() method clears only like 20-30 lines of code, if you run it few times, it become work really slow. I wish replit will insert command that is equal to pressing trash basket button...9 months ago

hi! check this out: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-clear-console-screen-CMD-screen-in-Java-Is-there-any-function-in-Java-like-clrscr-and-system-cls-in-C bascially you can use this: public static void clearScreen() { System.out.print("\033[H\033[2J"); System.out.flush(); } or: System.out.print("\033[H\033[2J"); or System.out.flush(); or Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls"); but i think the 1st one is the best ;) Happy coding and hope this helps! =)3 years ago
