                      it which are called keys. Various keys on a keyboard are mainly divided into

                      three types:

                      Alphabet keys, Number or Numeric keys                      What is a typewriter?

                      We use the Enter key to move the cursor to the beginning of the next line.

                      This key is also known as the  Return  key.  There are two Enter keys on
                      a keyboard.
