i want to center the table captions.
2 Answers
I recommend to use the caption package. It provides features for justification, also for centering, such as
\usepackage[justification=centering]{caption}
It offers many features, just have a look at its comprehensive documentation.

1@berkay: Using
\newline
inside a paragraph which will be typeset centered is usually a bad idea. Better use \\ instead which should work under such conditions, too.– user2574Apr 21, 2011 at 5:26 -

Package caption Warning: Unsupported document class (or package) detected, usage of the caption package is not recommended. See the caption package documentation for explanation. (I use OverLeaf with XeLaTex Compiler) Oct 27, 2019 at 13:59
Note: If you do not want to change the justification for the whole document you can use \captionsetup{}
within a particular figure and it will only change the captions within that environment.
Other than centering
you may also want to try centerlast
.
\usepackage{caption}
...
\begin{figure}
...
\captionsetup{justification=centering}
\caption{. . . }
\end{figure}
