Clear screen In Java

Question

how can I clear screen in Java?
Just like clrscr(); in C language

Answer 1

System.out.print('\f');
or
System.out.print('\u000C');

Answer 2

You can use ANSI escape control sequence:

System.out.print("\u001B[2J");

... will clear the screen ( without replacing text cursor at top left corner ^^ )
This should work on console ( real local ) but not with the console output emulator of Slolearn code playground :(

Answer 3

That doesn't work if you use your console to run your program. Works in ide.

Answer 4

I just needed this in Python*, and ANSI clear does not home the cursor to (0,0); it just prints enough blank lines to clear content...continuing at the bottom:

[ (cleared area)
[
[
[ content prints at bottom
[ scrolling up_

The entire ANSI command string should be:

chr(27) + "[2J" + chr(27) + "[0;0H"

This clears the screen (2J) and positions the print cursor at the top left (0;0H) so it prints downwards.

* (not Windows. Printing chr(12) usually clears those terminals)
