As for your newlines, you have two. First, the string printed has a newline. And second, the println() method adds a newline
I must admit confusion here. Yes, there are two references to newline and the println adds a newline.
But, if I understand you correctly, you are suggesting that the println is adding the blank line.
In which case how is the ( non-blank ) newline being added ?
And thank you for your rapid reply.
