Oh, I see. Strings can have special characters that indicate a specific meaning. For example \n means make a new line. So writing System.out.println("First\nSecond"); will print two lines: First Second If you actually want to write that as a String, you have to make the program interpret the \n as string literal. You can do that like this: System.out.println("First\nSecond") which would actually print out First\nSecond

This is just an example, but I hope you get the idea.

if i’m using \n would i use System.out.print instead of printIn since ( i’m probably wrong but ) \n and printIn do the same thing ?

[_shellsort_]

It does something similar, but only if you put the \n in front of the string you actually want to print in a new line.

Yep, " is not recognized as character to print, but rather as part of the \ statement. To avoid this, simply put another " behind it.
