ALT+227 = "pi symbol")i think this worked in the MS-DOS prompt, as well as everywhere else in the Windows environment. however, i am not aware of ways of doing an alt+<key combination> in Linux though.
it will be a nice app to develop on console, don't you think?
btw, how do you clear the terminal using printf again? TIA. =)
how about use the system function instead.
...
system("clear");
...
just be aware of the security risk involving the function.
