C++ New Lines

New Lines
To insert a new line in your output, you can use the \n character:

Example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World! \n";
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}

You can also use another << operator and place the \n character after the
text, like this:

Example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World!" << "\n";
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}

Tip: Two \n characters after each other will create a blank line:

Example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World!" << "\n\n";
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;
}

Another way to insert a new line, is with the endl manipulator:

Example

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
cout << "I am learning C++";
return 0;

HOWTO Try it
W3.CSS
Yourself »C C++ C# BOOTSTRAP

Both \n and endl are used to break lines. However, \n is most used.

But what is \n exactly?

The newline character ( \n ) is called an escape sequence, and it forces the


cursor to change its position to the beginning of the next line on the screen.
This results in a new line.

Examples of other valid escape sequences are:

Escape Sequence Description Try it

\t Creates a horizontal tab Try it

\\ Inserts a backslash character (\) Try it

\" Inserts a double quote character Try it
