this is my signature. k thx
cout is a member of the ostream class, and provides output to the standard output stream (more often than not the screen, but not limited to just that)

Demonographic rhinology is not the only possible outcome, but why take the chance
hmm, well first of all it is pronounced as 'Edited by moderator'.
As far as what it does, look it up in a textbook or ask your teacher.
Cout - "C Out". As in "C Output"
Cin - "C In". As in "C Input"

thanks mario and azuth, lmao troll king. Thanks for the links and expecially that basic understanding mario just told me... makes sense 10x +
this is my signature. k thx
Okay, i have been reading atutorial on C++ but it never explains what "int" is for..... from all these questions you can tell im really interested in becoming a C++ programmer. Will someone give me a basic understanding of what it means (like the cout thing)... thanks.
this is my signature. k thx
"int" is a keyword. it is used to denote an integer value, or a pointer to an integer ieAll variables must be declared in a similar manner:Code:int *pA pointer has an asterisk before the variablename. Note that any structs, classes, or pointers must be allocated. Since these are more complex, I would suggest you find a tutorial to explain them. If you want a place to start, I would suggest the one on this site. Also, for reference on the basics I'd suggest that you pick up a copy of "The C Programming Language" 2nd edition by Kernighan and Ritchie. It is a C reference, but is a good place to get grounded on the basics, since C++ was based on C.Code:variabletype variablename
cout is :
(c)onsole (out)
cin is:
(c)onsole (in)
you don't learn very much by reading tutorials, have a look at:
http://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/index.htm
there you'll find a whole book
cout stands for console output. It's an object of the ostream class. cin stands for console input, it's an object of the istream class (I think).
Int is a keyword used in C/C++ for declaring integer types which are usually 32 bits in size.
