Certainly, here's a comprehensive list of basic input and output functions, manipulators, their

uses, definitions, and example outputs:

1. Input Stream (cin):


 Use: Reads data from the user or input source.
 Definition: The standard input stream object.
 Example:
cppCopy code
int num; cout << "Enter a number: " ; cin >> num;
2. Output Stream (cout, cerr, clog):
 Use: Writes data to the console or output destination.
 Definition: The standard output stream object (cout), standard error stream (cerr)
for error messages, and standard logging stream (clog) for log messages.
 Example:
cppCopy code
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl; cerr << "Error: Something went wrong." << endl; clog <<
"Logging: This is an informational message." << endl;
3. endl and flush:
 Use: Manipulators for controlling line breaks and flushing the output buffer.
 Definition: endl inserts a newline and flushes the buffer, flush only flushes the
buffer.
 Example:
cppCopy code
cout << "Hello, world!" << endl; cout << "This is another line." << flush;
4. Boolean Formatting (boolalpha, noboolalpha):
 Use: Manipulators for controlling boolean output formatting.
 Definition: boolalpha shows boolean values as "true" or "false", noboolalpha
shows them as 1 or 0.
 Example:
cppCopy code
bool value = true ; cout << "Value (boolalpha): " << boolalpha << value << endl; cout <<
"Value (noboolalpha): " << noboolalpha << value << endl;

5. Numeric Formatting (hex, dec, oct, showbase, noshowbase):


 Use: Manipulators for controlling integer output formatting.
 Definition: hex, dec, oct set the base (hexadecimal, decimal, octal), showbase
adds base prefix, noshowbase removes base prefix.
 Example:
cppCopy code
int value = 42 ; cout << "Hexadecimal: " << hex << value << endl; cout << "Decimal: " <<
dec << value << endl; cout << "Octal: " << oct << value << endl; cout << "Hexadecimal
(with base): " << showbase << hex << value << endl; cout << "Hexadecimal (without base):
" << noshowbase << hex << value << endl;
6. Floating-Point Formatting (scientific, fixed, defaultfloat):
 Use: Manipulators for controlling floating-point output formatting.
 Definition: scientific shows in scientific notation, fixed shows in fixed-point
notation, defaultfloat reverts to default notation.
 Example:
cppCopy code
double value = 123456.789 ; cout << "Scientific notation: " << scientific << value << endl;
cout << "Fixed-point notation: " << fixed << value << endl; cout << "Default notation: " <<
defaultfloat << value << endl;
7. Whitespace Manipulation (ws):
 Use: Manipulator for extracting whitespace characters from the input stream.
 Definition: ws extracts whitespace characters from the input stream.
 Example:
cppCopy code
string name; cin >> ws; // Extract any leading whitespace getline (cin, name); // Read the
entire line, including spaces
8. Stream Manipulators (setw, setprecision):
 Use: Manipulators for controlling output field width and floating-point precision.
 Definition: setw sets the width of the output field, setprecision sets the number
of decimal places.
 Example:
cppCopy code
#include <iomanip> using namespace std; double pi = 3.14159265359 ; cout << "Value of
pi: " << setprecision ( 4 ) << pi << endl; cout << "Formatted width: " << setw ( 10 ) <<
"Hello" << endl;
9. Stream Extraction (getline):
 Use: Reads an entire line from the input stream.
 Definition: A function that reads characters from the input stream until a newline
character is encountered.
 Example:
cppCopy code
string input; getline (cin, input);
10. Stream Insertion (<<, >>):
 Use: Inserts data into the output stream or extracts data from the input stream.
 Definition: Operators used for writing to the output stream (<<) or reading from the
input stream (>>).
 Example:
cppCopy code
int num = 42 ; cout << "Number: " << num << endl; cin >> num;

These are the basic functions, manipulators, their uses, definitions, and example outputs
provided by the <iostream> header in C++ for input and output operations.
