C Programing Question

[iggybaseball]

Hi I am starting to learn C programming. I have some question I would like to ask as I go along and I will appreciate any help that i get.

My first ? is in the code below:

#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf( "Hello, C Programmers!\n" );
}




What is the \n for? is it to tell the program it is the end of the quote? Thanx

I'm pretty sure \n is to move to a new line.
