| Dec 9, 2016 at 22:28 | comment | added | cat | @Dennis That's like saying that in any challenge that requires the technique of control characters to overwrite text, the output isn't what's seen at the end, but the sum of the written bytes. Since \r isn't printable, the output of 12\r30 is 30. | |
