Why printline?

Hi! I have done the old version of bulls and cows with visual studio 2017, but now with the new version of the course, I am facing some problems.
My first question is why are we using PrintLine() instead of using general cout?
And for my second question, why are we using ClearScreen() instead of clrscr()?

std::cout is mapped directly to the standard output which is not connected to the signpost in any way.
Same goes for ClearScreen.

Oh Thank You!
But can you tell me like what is used, I mean which type of code or language we use for that signpost?
As i have never learned about PrintLine() code ever.

Its code specific to the project, it’s in the Console directory.
