We're not magicians. Post your code.

Haha... Actually, we are magicians, but we need the code to work our magic on.

Speaking only for myself, whenever some complex code that I write finally starts working as intended, I feel like a magician.

This is another classic case of "I want to pump this bicycle tire up with a potato, it doesn't work, whats wrong?"

Trying to call the unix command to clear the terminal is not going to work easily. clear needs to know the terminal setting to correctly send the page feed command. In your program, it won't be running in a terminal so would probably just fail and set an error in ERRNO. What you need todo is use Curses or NCurses. They were designed especially for this purpose, they turn your line or terminal window in to a completely editable interface.

There are plenty of example programs that use NCurses, and most tutorials will show you how to clear the screen.

To clarify your thoughts, could you describe in plain, correct English without any spelling mistakes what you mean by "clear the screen"? On my system, not even "the screen" makes sense. Do you mean the left one or the right one or both?

You need a fur … nuxt loop with an iv… thun … ehls condition. Don't forget to mark your classes privet, pubic or gang_member as appropriate. Oh and don't forget to eggsit cleanly!
