Difference between cin and scanf.

Question

Could you tell me, what the difference between cin and scanf is? I would rather use scanf. Is there any advantage that cin has over scanf?

Answer 1

bro let me tell u scanf is faster than cin.
u can use scanf in c++ but not cin in c.
if ur program is small use cin. its easy to write.
if ur program is big like really big then use scanf

Answer 2

cin is the object which takes input streams from keyboard, << is operator overloading in iostream.

scanf is the fuction which does the same..

Answer 3

cin is used in c++ and scanf in c thats the basic difference otherwise both do the same work.

Answer 4

yes iostream is slower than cstdio

yes you probably shouldn't use cstdio library which contains scanf , if your developing in c++
as someone mention above

there are even faster ways to get I/o than scanf if you don't care about formatting inpput and blah blah ...
