    string streams

    Why would a programmer want to use string streams, specifically objects of istrstream and ostrstream classes, for handling input to and output of a program?

    Sounds like a homework question. What do you think the answer is?

    Related questions:

    1. Can you explain, in your own words, what streams do?
    2. Can you think of a practical application for them?
    3. Would you want to use them in your programs? Why?
    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?
