For the second part of my project I'm trying to clear the screen after each operation using system("clear");.
This works fine but my teacher/lecturer works with windows and they get the following message in the console when they reach the cls:
'clear' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
In that case I would have to change the system("clear") to system("cls");.
Is there anyway that I can check the OS and get the program to switch between "cls" and '"clear"`?
Here is my code:
printf("Please provide name: \n");
scanf("%[^\n]s", contact_name);
getchar();
system("clear");
printf("Please provide contact number: \n");
scanf("%[^\n]s", tel_num);
getchar();
system("clear");
// items
printf("\t\t\t\t Our Apparels: \n");
printf("\t\t\tApparels\t\tItem code\n");
printf("\t\t\ta)T-Shirts\t\t'T'\n");
printf("\t\t\tb)Bags\t\t\t'B'\n");
printf("\t\t\tc)Caps\t\t\t'C'\n\n");
printf("Enter corresponding item code: \n");
scanf(" %c", & code);
// reading item code
while (code != 'T' && code != 'B' && code != 'C') {
printf("Enter corresponding item code: \n");
scanf(" %c", & code);
getchar();
system("clear");
}
