How do I get a platform-dependent new line character?

To get a platform-dependent new line character in Java, you can use the System.lineSeparator() method. This method returns a string that represents the line separator on the current platform.

Here is an example of how to use the System.lineSeparator() method:

String newLine = System.lineSeparator();
System.out.println("This is a line." + newLine + "This is another line.");

The System.lineSeparator() method was introduced in Java 7, and it is a more portable way to get the line separator than using the \n or \r characters, which may not work consistently across all platforms.

Alternatively, you can use the System.getProperty("line.separator") method to get the line separator as a string. This method works in earlier versions of Java, but it is less efficient than System.lineSeparator().

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
