Well, if you want only the "press any key to continue" to appear on the next line, you can use cout << endl;
For example:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int length;
    length = 7;
    cout << "The length is";
    cout << length;
    cout << endl;
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Or you could do it like this

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int length;
    length = 7;
    cout << "The length is";
    cout << length << endl;
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

However if you had a string there is another option, the newline character (\n), for example

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int length;
    length = 7;
    cout << "Yay random sentence\n";
    cout << "Yay thanks to the newline character, i'm by myself\n";
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

Everything from the newline character onwards, is put into a new line.
Another example:

Code:

cout << "there is a new\nline in the middle of newline!!";

Would appear in the console as

Code:

there is a new
line in the middle of newline!!

oh thanks man, that explains so much

Haha, well because i still have a lot to learn. I'm probably going to tick it when i finish this C++ book (C++ primer plus). I just happen to know more than the book has taught so far cause when i feel like doing stuff, i just research how regardless of whether or not i'll eventually learn it in the book. I'm a bit impatient that way, and i love to learn =)

You also could do this

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#define NEWLINE '\n'

int main()
{
    int length;
    length = 7;
    cout << "The length is";
    cout << length;
    cout << NEWLINE;
    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

You can change the NEWLINE to whatever you want, I wouldn't actually recommended this by the way. endl is easier in my opinion
