Forum :: Lounge :: newline in C++

I'm making a program in C++ but i cant figure out how to put in a newline. i've tried;

cout << "BlahBLah /n";

cout << "BlahBlah" /n;

and acouple more.

cout << "Hello" << endl;

Love you too.

Well I am not sure what you are asking for but here...

#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream> //Allow us to use 'cout' and 'cin'

using namespace std; //Automatically add std:: before 'cout' and 'cin'

int main() {
system("CLS");
Sleep(1000);
cout << "Program closes in 3 secounds" << endl;
Sleep(1000);
cout << "3" << endl;
Sleep(1000);
cout << "2" << endl;
Sleep(1000);
cout << "1" << endl;
Sleep(1000);
cout << "Terminating Program...." << endl;
Sleep(1000);

return 0;
} 

Newline is \n. not /n.

std::cout << "Hello world!" << endl;

-or-

std::cout << "Hello world!\n";

Both do the same thing. Using a backslash (\) is a universal escape character, so if you also want to print a ", you can do:

std::cout << "\"Hello world!\"" << endl;

Thanks for correcting me :)

Meh, I have never been accustomed to the "n" thing. endl was easier for me haha.

Lol, everyone was racing to correct him.. lol

and ethan why not just tell him to use

using namespace std;

it puts the std:: in front of all the "cout" and "cin".

i already am using namespace std;

thats why i didn't include std::

std::endl is not the same thing as \n. endl implicitly flushes the stream, so it is equivalent to << '\n' << std::flush;

This is important if you're going to be writing many lines, as flushing the stream is rather costly; but for console I/O you typically want to flush every line immediately anyway.
