iostream
The most frequently used read/write stream is iostream. We'll look at the implementation shortly.
The stream classes std::istream
and std::ostream
are often used for the reading and writing of data. Use of std::istream
classes requires the <istream>

is a typedef for the class basic_istream
and the character type char
whereas std::ostream
is a typedef for the class basic_ostream
