Couple of C++ questions

[Dorza]

1) instead of doing :

system("PAUSE");

is there another way of doing this, where i can

a: type my own message that appears
b: include "\n" so that a new line is made after the message. It doesnt accept me doing:

system("PAUSE")"\n";

2) i understand that "\n" ends the line and places the next output to the screen on a new line. But if i wanted two new lines, so that theres a blank space between the two outputs, im currendly doing:

 cout <<"Hello world""\n""\n";

what i was wondering was is there a way i could say somthing similar to this:
"\n2"
which would move to 2 new lines. I know its not that but somthing similar thanks for any help

I think you literally have to do "\n \n". Also yes you should be able to. The system("PAUSE"); is just a function, i doubt you can add text or line breaks after it. If you just use the cout function along with the insertion operators you can make a couple of line breaks just how you normally would.

A new line command ("/n") has to be directed towards cout. So you would need something like:

system("PAUSE");
std::cout << "\n";

Alternatively, you can replace "\n" with std::endl (end line).
