how to print in the same line by using c language

[mshaneeth]

if we give
printf("start:\n");
printf("\nline 1. printed");
printf("\nline 2.");

the output will be like this.....

start:
line 1. printed
line 2. printed

now how to get the output like ...
start:
line 1. printed

start:
line 2. printed
means first 'line 1.' must be printed and in the same line 'line line 2.' must be printed....

can anyone help me by telling this program....thanks.

Is this correct?

You have this:

1 2 3 4

printf("start:\n"); printf("\nline 1. printed"); printf("\nline 2.");

start: line 1. printed line 2.

You want this:

start:
line 1. printed

start:
line 2. printed

If you want to go back to the beginning of the line use \r instead of \n
- Once you print \n you can't go up any more with only standard stuff -

printf("\nline 1. printed");
printf("\rline 2.");
