Console output

[Gureet Singh]

Hi This is my first day with C++.
Iwas running the following program

#include<iostre am.h>
#include<conio. h>
main()
{
int x,y,z;
cout<< " input x,y \n";
cin>> x >> y;
z=x+y;
cout<< " z=" <<z<<"\n";
getch();
}
Problem: when I'm the Running the program using ctrl F9 in DOS , It asks for X & Y values then gives me output with no error, but The console screen shows all other statements also, If I'm running again this program the on console screen it shows me previous out also. I just want to see X & Y values on console output, please help me how to fix this

Hello,

I'm not sure if I know 100% what your asking about here, but what it sounds like is that you want the screen to be cleared of your previous outputs when you're viewing the results?

If so, my experience in C++ has shown me that the previous inputs/outputs on the console stay there. There may be a function somewhere to clear the console screen, but it's probably dependant on the OS that you're using to run the program.

Let me know if I was off-base in my assumption of your question.

Thanks!

add this command line
system("cls");
to your code
so it becomes

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
main()
{
   [B]system("cls");[/B]
   int x,y,z;
   cout<< " input x,y \n";
   cin>> x >> y;
   z=x+y;
   cout<< " z=" <<z<<"\n";
   getch();
}
