Java: Delete newline which is already printed-CodePudding

Given the Java Code:

System.out.println("hello"); 
System.out.println();
//insert here
System.out.prinln(" world");

Is there a way to delete the new line where we insert something into "//insert here" without modifying the rest of the Code such that the Output will go from:

Hello

World

into:

Hello World

I already search for solutions for example print('\b') or Thread.sleep(1000); but the first one does exactly the opposite of what I want and the latter just crushes everything.

Edit: I know that one could simply use print istead

CodePudding user response：

There is no really portable way to do it, because not every terminal type supports cursor movement up. However, you can try ASCII control sequences. For example ESC [2A moves cursor 2 lines up. Unfortunately, positioning cursor after the printed 'Hello' is impossible without knowing the length of 'Hello' - the information about how many characters are already printed on this line is not available.

you can use System.out.print instead println
