count number of line printed out

[yosimba2000]

here it is:

How many lines are printed out by this statement: cout << "abc\ndef\tghi\njkl" << endl << endl << "mno\n\npqr\n";

from what I see, it goes:

abc 1
def ghi 2
jkl 3
4
5
mno 6
7
8
pqr 9
10

The actual answer is 7, and I am counting 10.
Thanks!

abc\n 1
def\tghi\n 2
jkl << endl 3
<< endl 4 (empty line)
mno\n 5
npqr\n 6
7 (empty line)


enjoy

ahh i kinda see it, but I have a question. how come "mno\n\npqr\n"; doesn't make one blank line between MNO and PQR. i see the code like MNO \n\n PQR, so that should make
MNO
blank
PQR

thanks for the help

come to think of it you're right, so that makes it 8 lines unless you don't count the last one because the last one looks something like this:


WORD|
WORD|
|

yeah,looks like im not supposed to count the last line. thanks for your help!
