how to clear the console rust

To clear the console in Rust, you can use the clear function provided by the std::process::Command module. Here's an example of how you can do it:

use std::process::Command;

fn main() {
    let output = if cfg!(target_os = "windows") {
        Command::new("cmd")
            .args(&["/C", "cls"])
            .output()
            .expect("failed to execute process")
    } else {
        Command::new("clear")
            .output()
            .expect("failed to execute process")
    };

    if !output.status.success() {
        panic!("command executed with non-zero exit code");
    }
}

This code checks the target operating system and uses the appropriate command (cls for Windows and clear for Unix-like systems) to clear the console. It then executes the command using the output method of the Command struct.

Note that this code snippet assumes that you are using a standard console environment. If you are using a different console implementation or a specific terminal emulator, there may be alternative methods to clear the console.
