@Davide: the question says to output the string as shown. It doesn't say "so it looks the same on a terminal which ignores 0 bytes", so you're not allowed to print garbage bytes like ASCII 0 at the end. That would be noticeable piping into hexdump -C, or redirecting to a file. Tabs instead of spaces is maybe justifiable, especially since standard tab-stops are 8 spaces, and "buffalo" is 7 letters long.

| Jan 31, 2021 at 18:58 | comment | added | gastropner | @Davide Ehhh tab is not the same as space, so I disagree that 9 is a replacement for 32. Also not sure what you mean by 0 instead of 10; same thing there: Different characters. | |

I noticed that in TIO is not possible to use 0 (that is the right character to use) in place of 10, so to regain the byte lost, I checked for a substitute of 32 and found that 9 works.
