State of the Stream
Explore how to identify and manage the state flags of C++ input and output streams. Learn to use stream methods to query, clear, and set flags such as goodbit, eofbit, failbit, and badbit. Understand how these states affect stream operations for effective error handling and stream management.

Flags represent the state of the stream stream. The methods for dealing with these flags need the header <iostream>. Flags representing the state of a stream are:

|---|---|---|
std::ios::goodbit |
stream.good() |
No bit set |
std::ios::eofbit |
