Question on inheritence I'm assuming. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I have read that istream and ostream are parents of iostream.
Does istream contain cin?
Does ostream contain cout?
And does iostream inherit cin and cout from istream and ostream?

"Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence;
supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."

I always thought it was the other way round, ostream and istream are just specialized versions of iostream, in the same way that ifstream and ofstream are specialized versions of fstream. I don't know for sure though, so don't believe me (your probably right)
My suggestion is to open up the library files and find out for yourself.
