C Programming Tutorial 49, Character Functions pt2 and Escape Characters

"I help a lot" is correct. This is why: \r moves the cursor to the beginning of the line. It will then overwrite the word "books" with "I help a lot". Basically all the characters that come after \r will all be printed at the beginning of the line, while some previous printed characters may not be overwritten by the characters after \r. This is only true if there are more characters before \r than after.

is there a way to define multiple beep without having having to put the \a\a\a? for all the beeps i want for example if i want 10 beeps in row can i do it with a single code or i have to make a while or something?

my code: printf("books\rl"); gives me 'looks' when i run it.
but, printf("books\rl help a lot"); gives me 'l help a lot' instead of 'looks help a lot"
