Challenge: Escape Sequences in Strings

Link to the challenge:

Since you are using the newline character, \n, a carriage return \r isn’t needed. The solution doesn’t use a \r and the problem doesn’t ask for one, so I don’t understand what you mean by

actually I didn’t get what does \r do ?

What happens if you try

console.log("Part 1\rPart2");

it’s acting like new line character \n.is it right?

It is similar, yeah. There are some differences in their history and use (too much to summarize, but there are some cool articles on Google), but the two are very similar.
