New Lines

New Lines

You can use the “\n” character to introduce a new line.

Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf(“Hello World!\n“);
  printf(“I am learning C.”);
  return 0;
}

Using a single printf() function, you can output multiple lines, although it may potentially make the code less readable.

Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf(“Hello World!\nI am learning C.\nAnd it is awesome!”);
  return 0;
}

Tip: Consecutive “\n” characters will generate a blank line.

Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf(“Hello World!\n\n“);
  printf(“I am learning C.”);
  return 0;
}

What is \n exactly?

The newline character (\n) serves as an escape sequence, directing the cursor to move to the

start of the subsequent line, causing a line break.

Other examples of valid escape sequences include:
