Yes. You want to go to a new line on console and it is consider an output and every output needs to be carried by cout stream to their destination (console) but there is an elegant and a little fancy way to do so, which is std::cout << std::endl;

Yes it is. For text you can use it for a new line. You can also use this: cout << x <<endl; "endl; " has the same effect as one " \n ".

@Bebida That works too. I have not tried using it like that yet. I plan to try it.

@Aman, You should continue with the course. The "std::" or the "file" will not help you now. It will make sense later on in the course.

Well i think not, if you are writing a file you would do sonething like fstream file{...}; // create file file << "a string with newline\n"; // write to file and there is no cout there.

As said by @Manual use padding in cout statements.
