Now whenever you type
cls()
it will clear the screen and show the prompt at the top of the screen.
(The reason for the "x=" is: os.system returns a result, in this case
0. When you evaluate an expression in the IDE, the IDE prints the
result. So without the "x=" you get an extra line at the top of the
screen containing "0".)
Not if it's in a function, because the IDLE prints the result if it
isn't None, and your function returns None. So:
def cls():
os.system("cls")
should be just fine.
Yes, you're right.

When there was a homework/project assignemnt with a vague requirement (and it wasn't practical to get the requirement refined), what always worked for me was to put in the project report or program comments or somewhere a statement that the requirement could be interpreted in different ways and here is the precise interpretation of the requirement that is being implemented. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
