System()

[JAM96]

Hey I was reading some topics on this site and I notice people comment not to use system("PAUSE") or other system()

Why is that? I always use system in my code such as system('CLS').

Thanks

Oh I understand now..

So what is another way of clearing the console without writing system("CLS")
