In terms of ascii code, it’s 3 — since they’re 10 and 13 respectively;-). But seriously, there are many: in Unix and all Unix-like systems, \n is the code for end-of-line, \r means nothing special as a consequence, in C and most languages that somehow copy it (even remotely), \n is the standard escape sequence for end of line (translated to/from … Read more
\n is Unix, \r is Mac, \r\n is Windows. Sometimes it’s giving trouble especially when running code cross platform. You can bypass this by using Environment.NewLine. Please refer to What is the difference between \r, \n and \r\n ?! for more information. Happy reading
From a quick google: There is also one specifier that doesn’t correspond to an argument. It is “%n” which outputs a line break. A “\n” can also be used in some cases, but since “%n” always outputs the correct platform-specific line separator, it is portable across platforms whereas”\n” is not.

In Java, the newline and carriage return characters are both seem to be showing same effect. What are the actual differences between char literals \n and \r in Java? Note that the above asks about the \n character, not the newLine() function on BufferedWriter, and so this other question isn’t relevant.
