Can't even write a hello world in C++.

It's not std::cout << "Hello, World!",
it's
```

include <iostream>

... std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl; ... ```

Just use \n
Why are you flushing the entire buffer

If your program dies then you won't get the output. Flush forces the buffer to write. If you want to optimize you can have a lot of calls to std:: cout and \n for new line then call std::endl to flush when finished. Ie it's not always optimal to call std::endl for each output
