Can we use <iostream> instead of <iostream.h> in c++ ?

Answer 1

iostream is part of the standard library, you can see iostream.h in old programs, before iostream began part of the standard. no reason to use it today, but if you want.. remember iostream.h has not namespace std

Answer 2

@Jakob Marley

In SL compiler (which I think is GCC), iostream.h does not work. It might on some compilers, but a lot don’t support it anymore.

Answer 3

Why would you want to? iostream.h is deprecated in favor of iostream. However, to the best of my knowledge, you can still use iostream.h. However, for the sake of your learning, don't use the stuff from the past that has been deprecated today.

Nice name, btw. :)

Gotcha. I wasn't sure if anyone still supported it, but I know in the new standards they don't mention it at all, so it's always good choice to use what's supported over something that has no future. Thanks for the info though!
