Note that the character string contains the character pair \n
. When
such a character pair appears in a printf
statement, the effect
is to terminate the current line and to start a new one.
You can also use \n
in character strings you display with the output
operator, <<
.
Most programmers prefer to use endl
to terminate lines, rather than
\n
, because endl
not only terminates lines, but also directs
your computer to complete the delivery to your screen of all the characters
that have accumulated in an output buffer. Thus, <<
is said
to flush the output buffer.
