[Dev-C++] Question of the day

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

Why the following code does not work as it is supposed to work?


#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

printf("This is a test\b\b\b\b\b\n");

return 0;
}

I expected to print on screen "This is a".

I tried it on 3 compilers with different combinations and the results were
the same ('\b' not erasing).
