Why is the following not showing up as depicted on the course?

Question

I entered the code, as instructed: Console.Write("Congratulations!");

Console.Write(" ");

Console.Write("You wrote your first lines of code.");

The output was all on the same line: "Congratulations! You wrote your first lines of code.", however, according to the course, it should not have been.

In order to get it on separate lines I had to use Console.WriteLine every time.

I just want to make sure I understand this properly before moving on.

Please see attached picture.

Answer 1

Hi Paul,

The output you got is correct. The Output shown in the exercise is wrong. It should have it all on one line.

See this excerpt from the exercise text:

To print to the output console, but without adding a line feed at the end, you used the second technique, Console.Write(). So, the next call to Console.Write() prints another message to the same line.
