What is the meaning \r carriage return and \f form feed in Java?

Question

What is the meaning of \\r carriage return and /f form feed in Java? Can anyone give a small example of when we have to use these types of symbols?

Answer 1

\f is similar to \n, the difference is that the new line gets indented.

eg: "hello it was \f great meeting you"

it gives output:

 hello it was 
              great meeting you
