print to end of line in a terminal

[ndlarsen]

Hey.

This might seem as a arbitrary question to some. Anyway, I'm wondering how I go about printing text to the end of a line in a terminal/console. I've been googling it for a few days without any success. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards

do you mean that you want to print overwriting old text to same line without making new line? like a progress meter going from 0% to 100% ?

I was wondering about that too, except not same line. Scenario where program gets user input from stdin and instead of outputting result on next line, output same line user entered input.

Normally this happens because user must press enter to submit text
./test
Please enter a number: 32
You entered 32.

I would like to do this:
./test
Please enter a number: 32 You entered 32.
