I have the book, this n with a ~ above it is a typo, it doesn't mean
anything (in the context of the exercise).

The code is from the book C++ in 21 Days by Sams Pg. 86 Ex. 2

I beg your pardon! "this n with a ~ above it" is the 25th letter of the Spanish alphabet, and means to me exactly the same as any other letter of the alphabet could.

Has the code any relation with Spanish? I mean, is there a list of names or something like that? If not may be they used it for other purposes.

Just type ALT+164 and you'll get the character

I’m sorry, I realise that the character is valid and meaningful in Spanish
but as far as I know, the author of the book (Jesse Liberty) did not intend
it to mean anything as part of the C++ code in the book.
