cout<<endl; or cout<<" \n"; same thing it moves to a new line .

Answer 6

Answer 7

/n does nothing, it's just /n.

What you mean to say is \n. This puts the console to a new line.

Example:

System.out.println("example\ntest");

Output:
example
test

Where as I would have needed to write this to get the equivalent output:

System.out.println("example");
System.out.println("test");

\ is an escape character in a string, which allows you to interpret a different set of characters instead of having the \.
example:
\t -> equivalent to tabbing text

if you want to get a \ (character) then use \\.

You can see a further list of escape characters here:

There's also plenty of other explanations on what \n is encase your still confused here:
