What are other line ending types?

In addition to LF (Line Feed) and CRLF (Carriage Return + Line Feed), there are other line ending types used by different operating systems:

1. CR (Carriage Return):

   • Representation: \r
   • Usage: Used by classic Mac OS (prior to Mac OS X). A text file with CR line endings might look like:

     Line 1\r
     Line 2\r
     Line 3\r

2. LF (Line Feed):

   • Representation: \n
   • Usage: Used by Unix and Linux systems, as well as modern macOS.

3. CRLF (Carriage Return + Line Feed):

   • Representation: \r\n
   • Usage: Used by Windows systems.

Summary of Line Ending Types

• Linux/Unix: LF (\n)
• Windows: CRLF (\r\n)
• Classic Mac OS: CR (\r)

Understanding these line endings is important for ensuring compatibility when transferring files between different operating systems.
