Get your newlines straight

Computer Science Level 2

C code snippet:

1	`printf("\n");`

Python code snippet:

1	`print('\n') #can also be "\n", it makes no difference`

Let the number of newlines printed by the first code snippet (C) be $a$ and that printed by the second code snippet (Python) be $b$ .

What's the value of $(a+b)$ ?
