Consider the following small example:

```julia
for i in 1:10
    println("Iteration: $(i)/10")
end

```

This shows up on the screen as follows:

In each iteration, a new line is added. Is there any way that would ensure that visually it looks like the output is printed on the same line, exactly over the previous call, but still updating? One would only see one line with `Iteration: x/10`, and `x` would keep updating.

`\r` moves the cursor at the beginning of the line:

```julia
for i in 1:10
    sleep(0.1)
    print("\rIteration: $(i)/10")
end

```
