'cin' is confusing me with 'cout' can somebody explain me about 'cin' ? Thanks !😃

Question

cin?

Answer 1

c"out" is when you "out"put something to the screen whereas c"in" is when you "in"put something.

The syntax is also different:

cout << "this is the cout syntax";
in this case << is called the stream insertion operation, this is because you are inserting some data into cout which outputs that data to the screen.

cin >> x;
here the >> is called the stream extraction operation. As you can guess it extracts the information from cin and stores it in the variable x.
