  printf("I am learning C.");
  return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

Here You can also output multiple lines with a single printf() function. So, be aware that it will make the code harder to read:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf("Hello World!\nI am learning C.\nAnd it is awesome!");
  return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

Tip: Here Two \n characters after each other will create a blank line:

Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  printf("Hello World!\n\n");
  printf("I am learning C.");
  return 0;
}

OUTPUT:
