Overwrite text in python

Comment

# When you use print() in python, it always starts a newline.
# If you want to overwrite a line, you can move the cursor back to the beginning of the line

print("Testing 123", end="\r") # \r brings the cursor to the front of the string
print("Testing 456") # Will overwrite the last string
# OUTPUT: Testing 456

# NOTE
# The second string covers the first string. If the second is not long enough, you can see
# parts of the first string.
print("This is a very very long string", end="\r")
print("Now it is shorter")
# OUTPUT: Now it is shorterry long string
