Is there a benefit from endl or /n

what's the difference between the two because they do the same thing?

from what I've just read on stack the endl manipulator flushes the stream buffer, the \n doesn't.

using "\n" in your string makes it weird. so endl just prints another "\n" for you without making it weird.

usage of "\n" : cout << "some string\n"; // (weird string / annoying) usage of endl : cout << "some string" << endl; // (better and clean)
