endl manipulator

Question

I read that for a newline I can use the endl manipulator and I know from C that character '\n' also inserts a new line. Is there any difference between them, or '\n' has been kept in order to maintain backward compatibility with C?

Answer 1

1) this has been asked many times already. please search for it first.
2) endl, I believe, flushes the output. maybe I'm wrong...

Answer 2

Yep, the guy with the links is here. Hooray.

Answer 3

Charalampos Kontos you can't decide whether or not to "keep" "\n", it's a standardized general escape character, and it's based on the operating system, not the language

Answer 4

endl is used to create the new line.
