How do you clear the screen in modern c++?

I had came up from Turbo C++, which isn't a good compiler to use now, but now I am having problem clearing the screen away! In Turbo, I had used clrscr() function from <conio.h> library and it worked perfectly. However it does not work in modern compilers. Will anyone help me?

Late but here is something void clearScreen() { #if defined(WIN32) || defined(__WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__) system("cls"); #else system("clear"); #endif }
