C++ Output (Print Text)

The cout object, together with the << operator, is used to output values/print text:

Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  cout << "Hello World!";
  return 0;
}

You can add as many cout objects as you want. However, note that it does not
insert a new line at the end of the output:

Example
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

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

New Lines
To insert a new line, 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;
}
Try it Yourself »

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;
}
Try it Yourself »

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;
}
Try it Yourself »
Both \n and endl are used to break lines. However, \n is used more often and is the
preferred way.
