Clear() Function

When we begin refining the entire code, we use clear() a lot when we create new variables. Can someone tell me why? PLEASE answer in a way that is easy to understand: I haven't been doing this long. Thanks!

Keep in mind that this program is going to be printing off a lot of things in the terminal. To keep things from getting cluttered, we want to clear out the space every once in a while. Basically, the clear function here helps to make things nice and tidy.
