Please help me with "\n" meaning symbol

am taking MOOC course . I am at part 6 "Objects on a list and a list as part of an object". I have the following syntax: public String toString() { String onTheRide = ""; for (Person person: riding) { onTheRide = onTheRide + person.getName() + "\n"; } return "riding:\n" + onTheRide; } Question: How does \n is actually working on the each for loop? Why the names return by the getName() method are placed one bellow the other and not in a String line?

String onTheRide = ""; for (Person person: riding) { onTheRide = onTheRide + person.getName() + "\n"; } the name is going to be appended into the onTheRide string variable with an new line at the end of each name. e.g Smith Jack Tom

\n means a line break This means insert a newline in the text at this point. example : System.out.println(​"hello\nworld"​); Output: hello world
