A little birdy told me that on some systems, if you do not use endl at the end of an output statement it will not do so until their are enough to make it worthwhile, anyone experience this and/or know of what systems this will occure on? Thanks.

i am not able to get u. what do you mean to say. be specific. is that the endl fflushes the input buffer

I've seen it with C on FreeBSD and other Unixes, but C++ takes steps to avoid the issue, so you probably won't see it unless you're doing something out of the ordinary. Though it's always a good idea to prefer '\n' instead of endl unless you need to flush the stream. '\n' will never be less efficient than endl, but endl could potentially be expensive.
Kampai!
I don't get YOU. Please refrain from abbreviating 3-letter words. Even if you're learning English as a second language, you could help yourself out a lot by just capitalizing the first letter of every sentence and typing properly.i am not able to get u. what do you mean to say. be specific. is that the endl fflushes the input buffer
Yeah, I've seen that, but it's implementation specific as Sake pointed out, so keep it in mind if you intend your program to be used on multiple systems... Other than that I'll just second what Sake said - good advice.A little birdy told me that on some systems, if you do not use endl at the end of an output statement it will not do so until their are enough to make it worthwhile, anyone experience this and/or know of what systems this will occure on?

Well, there is the flush() member function of ostream that you can use to flush the buffer as well. And, to be honest, if you are trying you optimize your program by using '\n' instead of std::endl, then there is a fair chance that you are optimizing the wrong thing (not that there aren't reasons/situations calling for '\n' instead, but it is really probably not the source of great slowdown in most programs).
The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.

Well if you start relying on non-standard (or undefined) behaviour, then simply downloading the latest patch to your compiler could break all your programs.
Nevermind the problems which would occur porting your code to another platform.
If you're just outputting a large block of text (say a help message), then you could easily replace all the endl with '\n' for all the lines except the last one, and it would not matter.
But if you're in the middle of a series of prompts and responses, then endl could be vital in making the next prompt visible to the user.
But as Zach points out, this is hardly the most appropriate substitution for performance reasons.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Shouldn't that be "Unices"? (like 'index' -> 'indeces')I've seen it with C on FreeBSD and other Unixes
