Introduction
This chapter will cover all input and output features in C++17.
The input and output streams enable us to communicate with the outside world. A stream is an infinite character stream on which we can push or pull data. Push is called writing, pull is called reading.
The input and output streams:
-
were used long before the first C++ standard (C++98) in 1998.
-
are for the extensibility designed framework.
-
are implemented according to the object-oriented and generic paradigms.
