What is the difference between /n and endl?

Question

C++ / C#

Still, there must be some difference, otherwise why create 2 identical functions? Maybe, like, 1 of them is inherited, etc. If so, then there is no difference at all what to use ???

Answer 1

\n is not always a line break. endl is a more generic solution, guaranteed to work on all platforms. In addition, endl calls flush, which is needed for guaranteed writing (usually writing does not occur immediately, but is buffered).
