Some technical stuff so we have something we can use

cout << ”text” << endl;

print something to the terminal (stdout):

(think of this as “drop something on stdout” )

cerr << ”text” << endl;

standard error:

int i = 5;

cout << ”i = ”;

cout << i;

cout << endl;

“end this line, start a new one”

int i=5;

cout << ”i = ” << i << endl;

#include <iostream.h>

in order to use it, we must include the definition file:

cout and cerr are provided by the C++ system.

#include <iostream.h>

int main()

{

int i = 5;

cout << ”i = ” << i << endl;

return 0;

}

you can “drop” more than one thing at a time on cout:.
