Is there a difference between "\n" and endl in C++?

Just finished the Conditionals and Loops Unit the challenge said that my first answer was incorrect despite appearing the exact same as the expected output. But when I removed the "\n" and added endl it said it was correct.

Yes, that can happen! endl will flush to the console immedietly when executing. '\n' on the other hand leaves it to c++ when to flush to the console. That means that the first code might have had not displayed the output fast enough.

"\n" and endl work the same way. Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the syntax? For example: cout<<endl; cout<<"\n"; printf("\n");
