why print("\0007") does not beep?
beep, java
Solution
There are many possibilities:
- You are not printing to a terminal.
- Someone removed the beeper from the terminal.
- your terminal emulation doesn't support beeps
- ... or it is turned off by some option
- your speakers are muted.
- ....
By the way, you are actually printing a NUL followed by '7'.
Problem
I have tried this code on eclipse javaSE1.7, which is supposed to emit a beep, but it does not. Why is that? ``` public class Main { public static void main(String args[]) { // ASCII bell System.out.print("\0007"); System.out.print("\007"); System.out.flush(); } } ``` source
