I am working on a C++ workshop and having problem with this function. I use step in (F11) to debug line-by-line and find that my if statement if (ptr_rec->user_name == "\n") did not match "\n" after receiving pure "enter" input. How can I revise my code so that it I can "press Enter to exit" with my code structure?

overload read function with problem
- if statement (ptr_rec->user_name == "\n") not matching the condition
// Requests to enter Customers record, return false if name is empty after enter
bool read(Customers& rec) {
bool check = true;
ptr_rec = new Customers;
cout << "Enter User name : ";
read(ptr_rec->user_name, 12);
if (ptr_rec->user_name == "\n") {
check = false;
}
else {
cout << "Enter likes_count: ";
cin >> ptr_rec->likes_count;
cout << "Enter retweets_count: ";
cin >> ptr_rec->retweets_count;
cout << "Enter replies_count: ";
cin >> ptr_rec->replies_count;
cout << "Enter share videos (y/n): ";
cin >> ptr_rec->share_videos;
}
return check;
}
