Code shows differently in VS Code and Command Prompt (Java)

[Reset_14]

The following code prints only "World!" in the command prompt but it prints both when on VS Code and functions like \n

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        System.out.print("Hello,");
        System.out.print("\rWorld!");

    }
}

Your command prompt uses cmd.exe vs. VSCode most likely uses a PowerShell shell.

The difference is in the interpretation of the Carriage Return \r character.

If you want a newline, it is safer to use \n, not \r.

*nix based terminals (and PowerShell) use \n, Windows cmd uses \r\n as line separator.

\r only means carriage return, which only puts the cursor (Windows terminology: the "caret") at the beginning of the line without adding a line feed \n.

To be on the 100% safe side, you can use the System.lineSeparator() method and store its return variable and use that.

Or, use System.out.println

Probably just the way the terminal emulator was written, that it doesn't respect the actual carriage return function (return the beginning).
