Is it necessary to write cout each time we use \n

Answer 1

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;

Answer 2

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 ".

Answer 3

@Bebida

That works too.

I have not tried using it like that yet.

I plan to try it.

Answer 4

@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.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

As said by @Manual use padding in cout statements.
