We, programmers, often need to use, for example, the translation of the string to properly format the text. In addition to line breaks, these characters include tabulation (a break, obtained by pressing the Tab button) and carriage returnValue (only in Windows). For example, the printer, when meeting with LF, pulls the paper up one line, and the text editor transfers all subsequent text below, also one line.Īlthough there are more than a dozen of such characters, there are often only a few in programming. Then the text will look something like this: - Hello!¶Ī device that outputs the corresponding text takes this symbol into account. In some editors, you can even turn on the display of invisible characters. The editor puts a special invisible character at the end of the line, which is called LINE FEED (LF). While typing in some Word, you press Enter at the end of the line. is an example of the escape sequence (escape sequence). In Java, is a line break: ('- Are you hungry? - Aaaarrrgh!') We need to somehow tell the interpreter 'click on enter' - to make a line break after the question mark. It will turn out like this: - Are you hungry?- Aaaarrrgh! If you display a line with the following text: ('- Are you hungry?- Aaaarrrgh!')

We want to show the dialogue of the Mother of Dragons with her child: - Are you hungry?
