Are cin and cout allowed to be used even as right hand operands?

In C ++, is it possible to swap the positions of the two operands of an input/output statement with simultaneously switching the redirection operator, in a similar way to what occurs in mathematics as regards the inequalities? Practically, I wonder for instance if writing "Hello, world!" >> cout; could be considered as correct and valid as writing cout << "Hello, world!"; .

No, unless you find and use a compiler that evaluates it from the right to the left instead of left to right.
