To insert a new line, you can use the \n
character:
Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello World! \n";
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello World! \n";
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}
Tip: Two
\n
characters after each other will create a blank line:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello World! \n\n";
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello World! \n\n";
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}
Another way to insert a new line, is with the
endl
manipulator:Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}
Both
\n
and endl
are used to break lines. However, \n
is used more often and is the preferred way.
