If the width field is omitted, the output is the minimum number of characters for the value. If the field is specified as * , then the width value is read from the list of values in the call. [ 18 ] For example, printf ( "%*d" , 3 , 10 ) outputs 10 where the second parameter, 3, is the width (matches with *) and 10 is the value to serialize ...
Format is a function in Common Lisp that can produce formatted text using a format string similar to the print format string.It provides more functionality than print, allowing the user to output numbers in various formats (including, for instance: hex, binary, octal, roman numerals, and English), apply certain format specifiers only under certain conditions, iterate over data structures ...
To demonstrate the value of the escape sequence feature, to output the text Foo on one line and Bar on the next line, the code must output a newline between the two words. The following code achieves the goal via text formatting and a hard-coded ASCII character value for newline (0x0A). This behaves as desired with the words on sequential lines ...
The separation of newline into two functions concealed the fact that the print head could not return from the far right to the beginning of the next line in time to print the next character. Any character printed after a CR would often print as a smudge in the middle of the page while the print head was still moving the carriage back to the ...

newline terminated, separated by semicolon or comma (semicolon – result of receding statement hidden, comma – result displayed) MUMPS a.k.a. M newline terminates line-scope, the closest to a "statement" that M has, a space separates/terminates a command, allowing another command to follow Nim: newline terminated Object Pascal
A newline character sequence typically moves the render output location to the beginning of the next line. If one follows text, it does not actually result in whitespace. But, two sequential newline sequences between text blocks results in a blank line between the blocks. The height of the blank line varies by application.
Metacharacters have varying interpretations depending on the context and language, but are generally a kind of 'processing command' for representing printing or nonprinting characters. For instance, in a C string literal, if the backslash is followed by a letter such as "b", "n" or "t", then this represents a nonprinting backspace , newline or ...
