value1

Answer 1

• If 'out' is a PrintWriter, use println().
• If 'out' is a BufferedWriter, use newLine().
• If 'out' is some other Writer, use write('\n'), or append the newLine directly to the string you're writing. If you want the system's line separator, see System.getProperty() with the value "line.separator".

Answer 2

Very simple

out.write(sport + " : " + name + "\n");

That's all.
