Is using \n in c++ for new line a good practice?

or should we go with endl? isn't \n specifically for C?

I believe "\n" is more practical in complex command line programming where you compose dynamically the output. endl looks better in the code when you use a simple output.

`std::endl` calls `flush` stream while `cout << "\n"` does not, so "\n" should have better performance.
