M.MANIVANNAN for c++, output and input is done using stream with help of global object cin and cout ... << and >> are operators.. for cout object; << operator is overloaded to display output..for cout, >> operator is not overloaded. so, when you use cout >>, you get error.. same goes with cin and >>. this is what c++ io has been implemented... in case of your own custom class, you can overload << or >> operator for any purpose you want...

there is no particular reason for this bt they are operator... <<insertion operator bcz it is headed toward front it is used to print and >>extraction it is head back to take input just the logic.. well you can make ur own

When ever you want to use output and input, you use << and >> respectively. it doesn't have to be cout <<, it can be something like this <<

They are stream input/output (extraction/insertion) operators. Agree with Sergey Ushakov that the symbols << and >> show direction of input/output. For standard out/in I believe the format is "cout << str", "cin >> str".

The operators shows direction of stream. When you print "cout << str" it looks like you move str into cout.
