Like many other programming languages Ruby also understands the semicolons and new line characters to be the representatives to end a particular line or statement.
There are various operators such as +, -, or / when put at the end of the line, demonstrates that it is not the end but the statement still continues.

1. \n : It represents a Newline
Example:
puts "this is my\nfirst Ruby Program"

first Ruby Program
2. \r : It is used for Carriage return

puts "Hello\rWelcome to Ruby world"

=> nil
4. \b : It is used for Backspace.
