[Restored context:]I thought you said you were using C? This looks like C++, a different,

cout<< 55<< "\n";
It would also be more idiomatic to use endl rather than "\n".
It's not the same thing. "\n" outputs a newline,
std::endl output a newline and performs a flush.
This actually works in a C program???
No, it was a comment referring to C++ code, as you can tell from the
restored context quoted above.
Sense of humour MIA?
Usenet newsgroup messages lack a lot of the signals that normally help
identify jokes, such as tone of voice or body language. That's why
smileys were invented. Without a smiley, his humor (if it was indeed so
intended) was not easily distinguishable from a failure to pay attention
to the context, an every day (indeed, every minute) event on usenet.
