What is the difference between a "line feed" and a "carriage return"?

Since I can not comment because of not having enough reward points I have to answer to correct answer given by @Burhan Khalid.
In very layman language Enter key press is combination of carriage return and line feed.
Carriage return points the cursor to the beginning of the line horizontly and Line feed shifts the cursor to the next line vertically.Combination of both gives you new line(\n) effect.
Reference - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return#Computers

A line feed means moving one line forward. The code is \n.
A carriage return means moving the cursor to the beginning of the line. The code is \r.

Windows editors often still use the combination of both as \r\n in text files. Unix uses mostly only the \n.

The separation comes from typewriter times, when you turned the wheel to move the paper to change the line and moved the carriage to restart typing on the beginning of a line. This was two steps.
