\r

Answer is, places cursor in start of line.

Moves the active position to the initial position of the current line.
e.g
Original line- tude\rRi
Output- Ride

In above example,after \r (carriage return) the cursor moves to the initial position and hence, the first 2 characters “tu” replaced by “Ri”.
