Flashcards for:
Basic Input and Output in C++
What must be specified in a C++ program to correctly format multi-line output?
Press to flip
Stdendl must be used with the insertion operator to format the output into multiple lines.
What are the main topics covered in this lecture?
Press to flip
The main topics are stdcout, stdendl, and stdcin.
What is stdcout in C++?
Press to flip
STDCout stands for standard character output and is used to display data as the sequence of characters to the console.
How do you use stdcout in a C++ program?
Press to flip
Include the iostream header file, use the stdcout followed by the insertion operator and the data you want to display.
What is the insertion operator in C++?
Press to flip
The insertion operator is represented by two less than symbols (<<) and is used to insert the value on the right-hand side to the left-hand side.
What is the purpose of stdendl?
Press to flip
STDendl is used to explicitly tell C++ that a new line is needed in the output.
How is stdendl used in a C++ program?
Press to flip
Use the insertion operator with stdendl at the end of a cout statement to indicate a new line.
What is stdcin in C++?
Press to flip
STDcin stands for standard character input and is used to read input from the keyboard.
How does stdcin work with the extraction operator?
Press to flip
STDCin uses the extraction operator, represented by two greater than symbols (>>), to extract input from the user and put it in a variable.
What is the output of the example program using stdcout with two less than operator arrows?
Press to flip
The output will be '42' displayed on the console window as a sequence of characters.
How can you display a message and a numeric value using stdcout?
Press to flip
Chain the insertion operator to display the message and the numeric value, for example, std::cout << 'Age is ' << age.
How do you receive multiple inputs using stdcin?
Press to flip
By chaining the extraction operator to receive multiple inputs, e.g., using std::cin >> age >> gender to receive age and gender.
What do the empty braces indicate when initializing a variable?
Press to flip
The empty braces indicate that the variable has been initialized to zero.
How can you ensure that two pieces of data are displayed on separate lines?
Press to flip
Use stdendl with the insertion operator after the first data to move the next data to a new line.
What will be the output if 'std::endl' is not used between two cout statements?
Press to flip
The output will be on the same line instead of separate lines as intended.
What data type can hold an integer value in C++?
Press to flip
A variable of type int can hold an integer value.
What does the use of stdcin allow us to do in a C++ program?
Press to flip
STDCin allows us to receive input from the user through the keyboard.
Why is it necessary to include IO stream for std functions?
Press to flip
Because the declaration of std functions like cout, cin, and endl are available in the IO stream header file.
How is a user input assigned to a variable using stdcin?
Press to flip
Through the extraction operator, input is received from the user and assigned to a variable.
Can multiple inputs from the user be received in a single stdcin statement?
Press to flip
Yes, by chaining the extraction operator multiple inputs can be received, like std::cin >> age >> gender.
What must be specified in a C++ program to correctly format multi-line output?
Press to flip
Stdendl must be used with the insertion operator to format the output into multiple lines.
What are the main topics covered in this lecture?
