You should post your code if you want help, given the information you gave, I am guessing you are missing a carriage return/line feed escape code at the end of your output statement. That will depend on the paltform:

On Unix, an ASCII newline (\n) LF (linefeed) character ends each line.

On Windows, an ASCII sequence CR LF (\r\n) (return followed by linefeed) ends each line.

On Macintosh, an ASCII CR (\r) (carriage return) character ends each line.
