    Default Re: Carriage Return

    I think it is because the print method does not flush the buffer without seeing a newline (\n) character. println will do that or add a \n at the end of the String being printed.

    When I execute the code on a Win10 system, I get this:
    Hellow Healthly 
     World

    What OS are you working on?
    I imagine consoles work differently than real printers where \r would move the print head back to the head of the current line and print over the top of what was printed there, while a console gors to the next line.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
