Well endl also flushes the stream. The same thing like after printf() =
you do
fflush(stdout). I have met some coders out there that they =
fflush(stdout) in
C programs after some printf() calls to be sure that the messages =
appeared
before the program continues. I have never done that (flush stdout after
printfs). So it is up to your judgement if you want to add an '\n' & =
flush
cout using only one 'endl'.

Yes it ignores the next 200 characters or until '\n' is found before the
200th character.
