Is there a charachter or a function that can erase something printed on the screen?

'\b' is the backspace character
cout << "Hello\b\b\bWorld"; will produce HeWorld

is there a fuction that erases the whole screen?

You would have to use external libraries as Windows API, curses or others

I just need a function that erases the screen, It''s just one simple function that I've been told of but I don''t know it's name.

The 1^st example is the easy way that code is bad ( as you can see from void main() )
The second example is a bit more complicated but it's better
