\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.
