RE: What Ithe difference between a end of line and EOF...

End of Line refers to the 'n'( new line character). It will perform operations till it come across 'n'.

EOF refers to End of File. It is the last character in the file.(if it is not empty). If the file is empty then only EOF will be present.
Some compilers give its value as -1.
