endl manipulator

I read that for a newline I can use the endl manipulator and I know from C that character '\n' also inserts a new line. Is there any difference between them, or '\n' has been kept in order to maintain backward compatibility with C?

1) this has been asked many times already. please search for it first. 2) endl, I believe, flushes the output. maybe I'm wrong...

Charalampos Kontos you can't decide whether or not to "keep" "\n", it's a standardized general escape character, and it's based on the operating system, not the language
