Print in same line

println!("Here is your message!");
println!("With {} placeholders too!", 1);

Which would output:

Here is your message!
With 1 placeholders too!

 

Print in the same line

use std::io::{stdout, Write};

print!("This should be ");
stdout().flush().unwrap();

print!("in one line!");
stdout().flush().unwrap();

This should be in one line!
