That assumes a fixed width font, which is not a portable assumption.

It also assumes that the display is at least 26 wide by 8 high,
which is also not portable.

With a proportional font it will still work, but just look weird.

What hosted C environment has a display less than 26x8 characters?

My program will also work on teletype printer terminals -- it does not require a display.
