this is beacuse of the “\r” property in printf statement.
\r moves the cursor to the begining of the line and further printing keep erasing the previous data.
so when you execute “printf(“hello\r..jackie\n..jp\n”); ” hello is replaced by ..jackie
but when you execute “printf(“hello\n..jackie\r..jp\n”); ” only ..ja is replaced by ..jp. rest contents will remain same.
