What is the C++ equivalent to HTML's <br>?

webwolf70 · 09-14-2004, 02:23 PM

If I where to type this:

cout << "Hello";
cout << "this is line two";
cout << "line three";

Then it will come out all on one line. How do I add a break inbetween cout's so it ends up on three different lines? Is there something for C++ that is like <br> in HTML?

I think it should be:

endl;

or

\n;

endl frees the buffer, while \n is a escape sequence. Here:

cout << "Hello\n";

or

cout << "Hello" << endl;

Check some tutorials for "Escape Sequences". There're plenty of them.

Regards!

\n is the newline character, and to save you further posts, to print backslash to the specified output, it's \\.

Try using printf and scanf instead of cout and cin, and for more info use "man <your-command>"

The guy's learning c++, no point in confusing him with c.
