C++ Input-Output Statements
Module 4
Basic C++ I/O: Output statement (cout)
The standard C++ library includes the header file iostream.h,
where the standard input and output stream objects are declared.
By default, the standard output of a program is the screen, and the
C++ stream object defined to access it is cout.
cout is an identifier and is used in conjunction with the insertion
operator, which is written as << (two "less than" signs).
cout must be written in all small letters followed by an insertion
operator << and use semicolon ; to end the statement.

C++ Output Statement (cout)
Syntax Example Output
cout<<“constant string”; cout<<“Hello World!”; Hello World!
cout<<“constant string1”; cout<<“Adamson ”; Adamson University
cout<<“constant string2”; cout<<“University”;
cout<<variable; int x = 5; 5
cout<<x;
cout<<variable<<“constant string”; int x = 14; 14 is an integer.
cout<<x<<“is an integer. “;
Basic Input/Output > Output Statement(cout)
Additionally, to add a new-line, you may also use the endl
manipulator or backslash code \n
Syntax Example Output
cout<<“constant1” <<endl; cout << "First." << endl; First.
cout<<“constant2\n”; cout << "Second.\n“; Second.
cout << “Third.”; Third.
cout<<var1<<var2; int a = 10, b = 28; 10
cout<<a<<“\n”<<b; 28
Note: “\n” will create newline.

Basic C++ I/O: Output statement (cout)
int age = 24; int zipcode = 123;
cout << "Hello, I am " << age
cout << " years old and my zipcode is " << zipcode;
Output: ???

Basic C++ I/O: Input statement (cin)
Introduction to Computer Programming
Basic Input/Output>Input Statement (cin)
The standard input device is usually the keyboard. Handling
the standard input in C++ is done by applying the overloaded
operator of extraction (>>) on the cin stream.
Example: int age;
cin >> age;
The first statement declares a variable of type int called age,
and the second one waits for an input from cin (the keyboard)
in order to store it in this integer variable.
Basic C++ I/O statements
#include<iostream.h> Output:
#include<conio.h>
int main ()
Please enter an integer: 4
{
The value you entered is 4 and its double is 8.
int i;
Thank you.
cout << "Please enter an integer: ";
cin >> i;
cout << "The value you entered is " << i;
cout << " and its double is " << i*2 << ".\n";
cout<<“Thank you.”;
return 0;
}
