Suppose you wrote server code that will send messages out to all clients. The clients are single-line monitors that will display your received message without processing it. The problem is that, when the clients are receiving messages, they receive a newline with it and it wipes the original message. In your server code, you've written "pw.println(str); pw.flush();" where pw is an instance of a PrinterWriter object that writes to an output stream. What is a correct way to fix this (so that a newline is not sent)? 1) Rewrite the first quoted server-code line as "pw.println(str.replace("\n", ""));" 2) After writing "pw.println(str)", fill the buffer with white-space characters so that flush() can not insert a newline character 3) Rewrite the first quoted server-code line as "pw.print(str);" 4) The string must be reprocessed by the client to remove the newline character
