I'm a C programmer who learned C++ second, so I don't use 'cout', but the idea is that you need to output a newline between each bit of information. In C you'd use '\n' to output a newline character. I'm sure that this would work in C++, but I think that the 'official' C++ way is to use 'endl'.

Formally, endl is '\n' along with an immediate buffer flush. So it can be used like a newline, though there's no need to use it in between inserter operators. I must admit I'm still adjusting to C++ I/O, and finding clear documentation always seems like pulling teeth.
