What does endl mean in this?

Question

int x
;x = 4 + 6;
cout << x endl;

Answer 1

First, it should be ...x << endl. endl adds a system dependent END of Line to your output.

Answer 2

Like pressing ENTER in a text document.

Answer 3

It does not end a function, does the exact same job as \n

Answer 4

@John Wells, so ending the line of my output, does that mark the end of my function as well? Because I thought that endl was simply an archaic version of \n, which indents the text for me

like
this.

Answer 5

The \n is the archaic version. There exist systems where \r is the end of line character. endl will use the correct character on both types of system.
