Hey vignesh ...

We use "write at (column)" (where 'column' is a variable) when we want to change the position of the text/data dynamically. Whereas, if we use "write (/5)" , the position of the text/data will be fixed.

We use "write at" when we are not sure about the length of the column values to ensure that the complete text will be displayed.
