Answer / farkhanda
cin and cout both are used in iostream library
cin is same as "scanf" in C and cout is same as "printf" in C
cin operator is always ">>"
and
cout operator is always "<<"
the general syntax for cout is .... cout<<variable<<variable2<<....<<variable n;
the general syntax for cin is ....
cin>>variable1>>variable2>>.....>>variable n;

Answer / mukta b
• Cin : Represented by insertion operator >>
Cout : Represented by extraction operator <<
• cin : is an object of input streams like consoles, files, etc.
Cout : is an object of output streams that's used to show outputs.
• cin : is an input statement
cout : is an output statement
Example :
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a;
cout<<"Enter value for a: "; //taking value of a
cin>>a; //inputing value
cout<<"A = "<<a; //outputing value
getch();
}
