    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
        ostream show = cout;
    
        show << "Hello world!" << endl;
    
        return 0;
    }

    lmov's code won't work with compilers that use the standard C++ implementation (but will work with MSVC). If this doesn't work you could try this -

    Code:
    #include <iostream> 
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    
    	ostream &show = cout;
    	   
    	show << "hello world\n";
    	return 0;
    }
