How can I clear the previous lines in the irb console? Instructor seems to be doing it without input.

I am learning numbers methods and I just want to clear the screen to get rid of clutter.

Thank you, Seth! I hadn't revisited the Ruby course for weeks and I'd forgotten, it seems.

I also sometimes type "exit" and once it's out, it type "clear" :)

Thank you - the other method was not working for me, but this did the trick.
