Help with "\f" and "\r"

[mathias]

Hi, what is meaning of using:
\f or form feed
and:
\r or carriage return?

Thanks

Hi,
\r is a carage return, it means it makes u go to the beginig of the line.
Usually it is used with a \n, because if u write a line then u dont insert a \n, but you insert only \r u will overwrite what u wrote before.
\n is a new line feed, if u dont go to a new line u will overwrite the line before.
I have never heard about \f in java.
Bye.
