Ooble liar, I think everyone knows cin and cout are stream objects, but you are just a troll so you just want an extra post.

Funnily enough, I didn't. I don't know much about C++ - I really only know what I've picked up from reading other people's code. I'm a C programmer. Now I really should get around to reading that C++ book I ordered last week...

There is a point to be taken here. If one is not conversant with a subject one should be very careful about providing misinformation to newbies. Posters come here for solid answers and such answers are hard enough to provide in the face of changing language definitions and technological progress. It's an area in which to exercise care and discretion.

And I apologise for it. They say the best way to learn is to teach, and this is one of the reasons: if you make a mistake, it will be picked up five times as fast as it would have were you programming for yourself only.

Just to clarify, "<<" on cin or cout is a function.

std::cin<<"foo\n"; is the same as:
std::cin.operator<<("foo\n");

I tried to trademark "thangy," but 6 ropers from my hometown of Muleshoe took exception, discoursing with boot heels and the butt end of a calf rope. The whupped my butt so hard the Skoal can circle disappeared from my hip pocket.

Nope, DaWei, it was perfectly clear. I'm just an idiot, so I didn't read your whole post and notice you said that, or forgot. Or something.

What version is your book. I have this book and I don't like it that much. It's just not detailed enough and the writer tries to hard. Maybe you have a newer edition but 1st edition is lame(sorry). telling by the code, it must be and older book.
