#  console: clear() static method

The **` console.clear() ` ** static method clears the console if the console
allows it. A graphical console, like those running on browsers, will allow it;
a console displaying on the terminal, like the one running on Node, will not
support it, and will have no effect (and no error).

##  Syntax

js

    
    
    clear()
    

###  Parameters

None.

###  Return value

None ( [ ` undefined ` ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/undefined) ).
