use endl.

endl << endl is just bad. That should have one '\n' and one endl.

endl != '\n'

On some OSs the line break is just '\n' such as most *nix based ones. However on windows it is "\r\n" and on some very old mac OSs it is just '\r'.

DAN i just made a break through... I got my code to compile. Yay!

I Got rid of the DEV editor then just went back to basics...

now i am running the crimsion editor and the minGW compiler.

it took me a few attempts to compile the work but this is what i type and it works

c++ Main.cpp -o AzureGale.exe

Now i was wondering if someone could explain to me that the -o part means... i think it means output but i not sure

[wtd]

Essentially, yes. It provides an output file name.

When in doubt, "gcc --help" is your friend.

The '\n' when printed to a text-stream produces the correct end-of-line character sequence. The difference between using '\n' and endl is elsewhere.
