Printing Multiple Lines of Text with a Single Statement
A single statement can print multiple lines by using newline characters, as in line 8 of Fig. 2.4. Each time the (newline) escape sequence is encountered in the output stream, the screen cursor is positioned to the beginning of the next line. To get a blank line in your output, place two newline characters back to back, as in line 8.
