    Question Is there a C iostream?

    Is there a version of the iostream header that works with regular c? I'm forced to program in C for my college class but i've been programming in c++ using iostream that not using it is gonna be a pain in the rear.

    No, C doesn't use iostream. You will have to get input like this:
    Code:
    //define a file pointer
    FILE *fptr = NULL;
    //open a file in read mode
    fptr = fopen("C:\\filename.txt","r");
    //validate that the file opened properly
    if(fptr == NULL) exit(1);
    //Scan text file with fscanf(...
    //scan binary file with fread(...
    I compile code with:
    Visual Studio.NET beta2
