You do - the internet. Learn to google, it will be important.

The equivalent Java code would be:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls");
Just a word of caution, that's going to be system dependent.

@sadia - that is not actually executable code ... but a hint to help you solve the problem for yourself.

@sadia: No, Runtime is in the java.lang package, so no import statement is necessary. Are you running this in an IDE, or at the command line?

"i have no other source to get info about this" - Really? You're online, aren't you? Who needs books or a professor then?

@sadia: Try wrapping that line of code in a simple main method (you should have or be able to find a "Hello, World!" example), compile it, and run it from the command line.

i have searched Google to a great extent for finding this but everywhere i found nothing but a debate between different people regarding this clear screen code. and i have reached to the conclusion that there does not exist such code in java which can be used for clear screen!!!

Does anyone know how to make this work in Linux. I tried
java.lang.Runtime.getRuntime().exec("pwd");
It didn't give me the supposed output.
