How to input/output in C++ (CPP, C Plus Plus)
When you type at the keyboard and your program takes your input as data that is standard input. When your output is displayed at the terminal screen that is standard output. The standard input stream is called cin, The standard output stream is called cout.
To get basic I/O functionality, you must #include < iostream > library in header of C++ program.
Standard Output
By default. the term standard output refers to the output display on the screen. C++ language uses the cout stream object to display standard display. The word ‘cout‘ stands for console output. The cout object is used with the insertion operator (<<).
Syntax:
cout<<Variable/Constant/Expression;
Examples:
cout<<“C++ Programming”;
The above line will display “C++ Programming” on the screen. The string constant is always enclosed in double quotes.
cout<<245;
The above line will display 245 on the screen. The numeric constant is not enclosed in quotation marks.
cout<<price;
The above line will display the value of variable a on the screen. The variable is not enclosed in quotation marks;
cout<<“The Value of Price”<<price;
The above line will displays “The Value of Price” along with the value of variable Price on the screen. The insertion operator
is used for twice to concatenate the string value with the value of Price.

// header file #include <iostream> // namespace using namespace std; //main function int main() { // initialization variable price int price=1000; // string output cout<<"Output Example"; // new line cout<<endl; // output constant variable value price cout<<price; // new line cout<<endl; //string with constant variable value price cout<<"The value of price ="<<price<<"$"; // return int main function return 0; } |
Output
Standard Input
By default, the term standard input refers to the input given vie keyboard. C++ language uses cin stream object to get standard input. The word ‘cin‘ stands for console input. C++ handles standard input by applying the extraction operator (>>) with cinstream. The operator must be followed by a variable. The variable is used to store the input data.
Syntax:
cin>>variable;
Examples:
cin>>y;
The above line will get a value from the keyboard and store it in variable y.
cin>>a>>b>>c;
The above line will get three values from keyboard and store in variables a,b and c.

// header file #include <iostream> // namespace using namespace std; //main function int main() { // declare variable price int price; // output string cout<<"Input Example"; // new line cout<<endl; // output string cout<<"Enter the value of Price:"; // input for price variable cin>>price; // new line cout<<endl; // output string with store value of price cout<<"The value of price ="<<price<<"$"; // return main function return 0; } |
