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! =)

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...

only the first method works on replit java
You can use this code in a method
System.out.print("\033[H\033[2J");
System.out.flush();
