What are the newline characters in Java?
What does “\n” print in Java?
Let’s look at an example of printing “\n” on the console.Example
public class NewLineChar {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hi, I am Sponge Bob.\nI just signed up at Code Gym.\nI love the Java learning experience here so far!");
}
}
Output
Hi, I am Sponge Bob.
I just signed up at Code Gym.
I love the Java learning experience here so far!
How to add a newline character to a String?
There are multiple ways of adding the newline character to a string. You can use either “\n” or “\r\n” to add a line break in a continuous paragraph. Let’s look at some ways of doing so.Example
public class NewLineChar {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Method 1: newline after every sentence
String sentence1 = "What a beautiful day to be alive!";
String sentence2 = "Let's be thankful for all the blessings we've been showered with.";
String sentence3 = "It only makes sense to be helpful, cooperative and generous to those who are less fortunate.";
// without newline after each sentence
System.out.println("-------Printing without newline character--------");
System.out.println(sentence1 + sentence2 + sentence3);
// newline character after each sentence
System.out.println("\n-------Printing with newline character-----------");
System.out.println(sentence1 + "\n" + sentence2 + "\n" + sentence3);
// Method 2: new line after each paragraph
String paragraph1 = "Java is the most dynamic and easy to plug and play language. It has been transforming lives for more than 2 decades now. It still continues to grow to date.";
String paragraph2 = "If you're a beginner who wants to be a professional in Java, you need to focus on targeted learning with consistent practice. If you're looking for a responsive community to grow with, then Code Gym is the way to go!";
// without newline after each paragraph
System.out.println("\n-------Printing without newline character--------");
System.out.println(paragraph1 + paragraph2);
// new line character after each paragraph
System.out.println("\n-------Printing with newline character-----------");
System.out.println(paragraph1 + "\r\n" + paragraph2);
}
}
Output
-------Printing without newline character--------
