puts() function is a simplified version of the printf() function.

1. puts() displays a string of text without all printf()"s formatting magic.
2. puts() always displays the newline character at the end of its output.

<source lang="cpp">#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

   puts("error.");
   return(0);

}</source>

error.
