how to append new sentences with newline without overwriting previous text?

Multi tool use
I can append new texts but cant get newline
I tried adding newline to the hello world but instead of new line it just simply add my first line and hello world to the previous line.
myfile=open("test.txt","a")
myfile.write("nhello world")
myfile.close()
my first line
hello world
python-3.x

That's how escape characters work. If you want to add the 'n' as a normal string to file, you may prefix the escape character with a ''. Like"\nhello world"

Here is an example on how to add a new line based on the input string.
myfile=open('test.txt','a')
myfile.write('Remember,teamwork begins by building trust.nAnd the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.n-- Patrick Lencioni')
myfile.close()
outputs:
Remember,teamwork begins by building trust.
And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.
