It's not a good practice to use printf in C++. But if you need, it can be used by including the library stdio.h

Answer 14

any c program can be a c++ program and you don't have to include <iostream> to it. cause it will work without and sometimes printf is more suitable and convenient to use then cout.

ex:-

int x = 1, y = 2;

cout << "Array of a[" << x << "][" << y << "] ;" << endl;

printf( " Array of a[%d][%d] ;\n" , x, y);

output = Array of a[1][2] ;

as you see output is same but syntax are different.
