prints("\n hi\r\b");
prints("hello");

CodePudding user response：

In pure C you can only edit your current line:

\b = 1 character back
\r = Beginning of line

You can go to every position like that (Windows):

#include <windows.h>

void goto_xy(unsigned x, unsigned y)
{
    SetConsoleCursorPosition(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), (COORD){x, y});
}

If you want output like this hello hi the you have to remove '\n' like this

printf("hell hi");

But in your question you mentioned that you want to print hi near horizontal to hello without removing '\n'. As per my understanding you have to remove '\n' after hello.
