Stream

A sequence of bytes representing a flow of data. Think of it as a continuous stream of information.

ios Class

The base class for input and output stream operations. It acts as the foundation for handling data flow.

istream Class

Used for reading data from a source, like a file or the keyboard.

ostream Class

Used for writing data to a destination, like a file or the monitor.

Study Notes

Streams

A stream is a sequence of bytes.
Represents a flow of data.
Examples include input from a keyboard and output to a monitor.

Stream Classes

ios is the base class for input/output stream classes (istream, ostream, streambuf).
ios is a virtual base class for efficiency.
istream is the base class for input streams.
ostream is the base class for output streams.
iostream is derived from both istream and ostream.
istream handles input, providing functions like get, getline, read, ignore, support for extracting data (e.g., using the extraction operator >>).
ostream handles output, offering functions like write, put, and support for inserting data (using the insertion operator <<).
