WHAT DOES LINE FEED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Newline

In computing, a newline, also known as a line ending, end of line, or line break, is a special character or sequence of characters signifying the end of a line of text. The actual codes representing a newline vary across operating systems, which can be a problem when exchanging text files between systems with different newline representations. The concepts of line feed and carriage return are closely associated and can be either considered separately or lumped together. In the physical media of typewriters and printers, two axes of motion, "down" and "across", are needed to create another line on the page. Although the design of a machine must consider them separately, the abstract logic of software can lump them together as one event. This is why a newline in character encoding can be defined as LF and CR combined into one. Two ways to view newlines, both of which have valid internal logic, are that newlines terminate lines or that they separate lines. If a newline is considered a separator, there will be no newline after the last line of a file.
