std::endl is used in output streams in C++ to end the line, using the os specific line termination sequence, and flush the buffer.

The later one is a performance issue in many cases, why the use of "\n" is considered preferred

[–] xigoi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don’t most terminals flush the buffer on newline anyway?

[–] ClemaX@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

It is the stream itself that is buffered, so the terminal does not handle the contents until the stream is flushed.

[–] vapeloki@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe, but there is the internal buffer. Also, most I/O happens in files not consoles

Instead of this:

std::cout << "Hello world.\n";

You can do this:

std::cout << "Hello world." << endl;

The fact that you used the namespace for cout but not for endl inordinately bothers me

something has replaced your lessthan signs with their HTML counterparts. such a silly thing to do in a code block

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think that's client side. Doesn't happen for me.

same here. AP isn't standardized enough, apparently

Boy am I glad I don’t do C++ anymore. That string handling with the overloaded bitshift operator was wild.

[–] vext01@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, so you're a println! kinda guy?

Alternatively:

p.s. The site isn't entirely mobile friendly

(I'm a cppref lover tbh)

From memory it's a way to declare a line ending after your string.

God bless your soul.
