Basics of iostream in C++

The main topic of the lecture is the basics of IO stream in C++.

IO stream is the name of both a library and a header file used for input and output operations in C++.

A library in C++ is a collection of pre-written code that can be used directly without the need to write the code from scratch.

One example of a tool from a C++ library is std::cout, which is used to print something on the screen.

Using pre-written code from libraries avoids the need to reinvent the wheel, allowing developers to use code quickly and efficiently without writing it themselves.

A library is described as a toolbox containing various tools that can be used directly, similar to using a hammer without building it from scratch.

The standard C++ library contains many libraries, including the IO stream library.

The IO stream library contains tools to perform input and output operations, allowing for reading and writing sequences of characters.

In IO stream, 'I' stands for input and 'O' stands for output.

The IO stream header file contains declarations of tools, ensuring that the compiler knows which tools are available for use from the library.

Header files are needed to avoid errors from the compiler by declaring the tools available from specific libraries, allowing their usage without error.

We include IO stream header file in our code by writing #include <iostream>.

The IO stream library contains definitions of input and output tools, while the IO stream header file contains declarations of these tools.

Including the IO stream header file ensures the compiler recognizes the availability of input-output tools, preventing errors when using them in the code.
