system("CLS"); clears the console or command line terminal
both of makes your program not portable since is operating system

use instead of system("pause");
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Well, the System("pause"); actually a function to the main windows shell, which calls pause.exe, and thereby pauses your program. And just to let you know, the System("PAUSE") method is a bad way of pause your applications...
A good alternative is at:

As for System("CLS") function, it clcears your console applications screen. Basically erasing any user or application genereated output on the screen.
Please let me know if this helps you.
