Solution

  • The effect is not clearly the same. But I think what @it_is_a_literature meant was why is the "h" in first line starting from the second "l" from the second line. My answer to it is that, not every character has a equal width or dimensions. For eg. the "l" in hello takes less space than "e" in the same word.

    The " " works like a space bar. So there are 5 spaces not 3.
