Question

Question

Answer 1

C OUT equals print
C IN equals Input

Answer 2

the out and in are obviously output and input. the c according to the creator of c++ stands for character
the exact quote is:
"cout" is pronounced "see-out". The "c" stands for "character" because iostreams map values to and from byte (char) representations.

Answer 3

I was under the assumption that the c was for console, not character, since both cin and cout are used with the console.
