Printf Issues

[Ao the Unstoppable]

Hi. I'm pretty new to C/C++, and I was wondering how to correctly use
printf and then create a new line. What in printf creates a new line,
as if it was endl; in cout?

For example:

printf ("Hello World!");
printf ("How are you?");

How would I make it skip a line to output:

Hello World!
How are you?

....rather than:

Hellow World!How are you?

Thanks.

Look up "escape codes" in the index of your least favorite tutorial.

\n

And it ain't a feature of printf, it's a feature of string and character
literals.

The newline escape sequence '\n' works in C++ streams as well.

you could use this:

printf ("Hello World!\nHow are you?");

'\n' is the newline character in c/c++

Why do you want to use printf instead of << ?
