Bear in mind that when you use cstdio as opposed to stdio.h, all functions will be part of the std namespace, as the library is part of the C++ STL.

printf rules. cout rules. there are places for each of them, and one should be familiar with both as a common task for entry-level CS graduates is code maintenance.

What is(are) your reason(s) for saying printf rules? The only place I see for it is in C code, not C++.

If you're more familiar with printf than the iomanip functions, then printf can be a quicker solution... however, as DaWei has said (or alluded to) in other threads, if you're coding in C, use C; if you're coding in C++, use C++.

No, Prolog code maintenance...

Yes of course, C code maintenance.
