Hello world/Newline omission

Hello world/Newline omission is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Some languages automatically insert a newline after outputting a string, unless measures are taken to prevent its output. The purpose of this task is to output the string "Goodbye, World!" to the terminal, preventing a trailing newline from occuring.

The behaviour of echo command is inconsistent across implementations. The -n parameter is not guaranteed to prevent a newline from occuring, so use a printf instead:

<lang sh>echo -n "Goodbye World!" # This may not work printf "Goodbye World!" # This works. newline is not automatically produced</lang>
