log game stats and clear consol

[suddlemercury]

Hello Everyone! I built a game that's does high low guessing what I'm trying to do now with it is that I want to log the users stats in a log file after the program is finished. also I can seem to get the rogram to clear the consol after the user says yes to another game.
thank you!!
