I haven’t been following this subject that close so I could be missing completely with my answer, but when writing code in C or C++ the /n is simply a / and n characters not a carriage return. The \n is used for a new line which is a carriage return. If I am missing the point just ignore the post.
Forward slash n (/n) does not make a new line. Back slash n (\n) does make a new line.
