I am just learning C++. I literally(sp?) started just 5 mins. ago. What I need to know is if all headers in the C++ Libs. Support the COUT.

You know..like <iostream.h> and stuff like that.

Hockeyman · Feb 12th, 2005, 12:17 PM

If I understand your question, then no - COUT is in <iostream.h> so you have to #include it if you want to use that method...if you include other .h files but not iostream.h, cout won't work.

<WTF!?!...drunk>
uh...what the hell, yes, try your iostream.h libraries.

Hokeyman do you support Arsenal#?

Hockeyman · Feb 12th, 2005, 2:08 PM

Ade - not quite as fanatically as a true Londoner, but pretty close

Downside of living in Canada is that premiership games are only on very early on Saturday morning, and only rarely teams that I want to see...

Well if I don't use <Iostream.h> for cout. What other Output method, function, whatever, you know like does the other headers have a different output source such as teh screen and if so what is it?

Hockeyman · Feb 12th, 2005, 2:34 PM

I guess you could use <stdio.h> and use printf(), but why would you want to?
Hell...if you really are opposed to <iostream.h> you can write your own version of cout and cin and use those instead.

Stick to cout and upgrade to iostream. Now you are part of the C++ crowd! The only thing is that iostream bloats the exe. So if you don't use too many instances of cout or cin, you can include cstdio and use the old C workhorses and cut your bloated exe by a factor of ten.

Hockey - I live very near the Arsenal stadium Highbury and have supported them for nearly 20 years!!
